Today's Economy

Our economy is in big trouble and millions of American families are hurting. Job loss and unemployment is at an all-time high. Unfortunately, neither President Bush nor Congress has done anything to respond to the employment crisis. In fact, since the Bush inauguration, America has lost 1.5 million jobs. Compounding the employment crisis, more Americans are losing health care coverage and states are struggling to fill record budget gaps. We need to jump start our economy to help working families who are bearing the brunt of the economic crisis. Now is the time for President Bush and Congress to do the right thing and put workers and their families first.
