Extending unemployment benefits is not only the right thing to do -- it's also the single best thing we can do to help our economy. Unemployed workers need that money -- to buy groceries, pay the rent, and keep the lights and heat on this winter,

We have a lot of work ahead of us, ... We still need the Voting Rights Act to be reauthorized, protect Social Security for our families, address the health care crisis disproportionately impacting Latino families, and make sure every student has access to a higher education.

average cent home hotel married millions republican rich state tax trading win worker york
take an average hotel worker in my home state of Nevada. He's married and has two children, and earns $25,000 a year. Under the Bush-Republican plan, he would get nothing -- not one cent in tax relief. Now take a rich stockbroker in New York who made millions trading other people's money. Under the Republican plan, he'd win the lottery. I don't think that's fair.

games work-out president
We would be somewhat foolish to work out something on stopping us from going over the cliff and then a month or six weeks later Republicans pull the same game they did before and say, 'We're not going to do anything - unless this happens, we're not going to agree to increasing the debt ceiling.'

The president's speech tonight used lofty, yet recycled, rhetoric to paint a picture of a country that has prospered and become stronger in this new century. Unfortunately, that's not the America his policies have created for too many families... A year ago, the president overreached by threatening to privatize and dismantle Social Security. This year, he reached for too little.
