Economy

Americans need a New Direction. Americans need a change from the failed Bush economic policies that have led the economy to the brink of recession. Democrats are working to rebuild our economy and help families struggling to make ends meet.

Democrats have an economic plan that will bring opportunity and fiscal security to all Americans, not just the wealthy few. Democrats have passed a higher minimum wage and are ensuring fiscal responsibility in the Congress, and are pursuing legislation that will make health care, energy, and education affordable for all Americans.

Democrats are building an economic approach that lifts every American, not just the privileged few. The average American CEO earns more before lunchtime in one day than a minimum wage worker earns all year. This is not the kind of America we want our children to grow up in.
