We are now paying the cost of people who move jobs overseas as taxpayers, and people are appalled when they hear that.
So when folks talk about the deficit and leaving the deficit for our children, we will never get out of debt had this country until people get back to work, until they have good-paying jobs, and in between times, we will not move this economy forward until we are helping people be able to keep going in this recession.
It's interesting that there are only two groups of people in our country who are not held accountable for their behavior or decisions. One is exempted by the constitution, and that is foreign diplomats. The other, through a loophole, is HMOs.
The reality for us in America is that we will never get out of debt with more than 15 million people out of work.
Five thousand people every day lose their home because of a medical bankruptcy. Most of them had insurance.
And I have to say, what motivates me every day and I know my Democratic colleagues is to remember that every day 14,000 people get up in the morning with insurance that go to bed at night without it and most of them because they lost their job.
This is a question of being responsible and having the right values and priorities, ... I think adding massive debt to the people of our country is not responsible.
I think what we see is a conscience vote on all sides and people of good will making their own decisions,
I think the most important issue for all of us is our economy and jobs and creating opportunities for young people to be able to get the education that you need to be able to afford to go to college.
These drugs meet all FDA requirements for manufacturing, safety and purity.
Everybody talked about doctors being in charge of medical decisions, talked about schools and safety and equality for our children. Now the question is, how do we follow through on that for the good of the country.
There's no connection between the donations and the letter,
We've lost 400,000 jobs in Michigan because of downsizing.
We have come a long way. There is a long way to go, but I think the decisions are better made as women are participating.
