January 25, 2011
Washington D.C. – Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander M. Levin (D-MI) issued the following statement in response to the President's State of the Union Address:
"The President laid out a vision for how to create desperately-needed jobs with investments and innovation. He sent a strong message that we refuse to go along with Republican efforts to turn back the clock, but instead will work to move its hands forward to benefit the hard-working families of our nation. The President made clear that this is no time for retreat. It is time to move forward together.
"Under the President's leadership, steps were taken to prevent a recession he inherited from becoming much worse for American families. Steps were taken to make it better. It is absolutely essential to make it far better."
