"When the economy is struggling, government should act to make things better for the middle class and most families by investing in jobs and economic growth."

"Investing in education, infrastructure, and high-value research and development to help our economy grow, keep us globally competitive, and make it easier for businesses to create jobs."

"Senate Democrats believe the path of austerity that long-term cuts from sequestration lead toward is not the right direction for our country."

"Debt reduction can be achieved by cutting spending or by raising taxes or by adopting a mix of spending cuts and tax increases."
