Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we build an economy that works for everyone. President Obama’s proposed budget is a carefully crafted blueprint to address the enormous economic challenges we face and help working Americans by making serious and necessary investments in infrastructure, health care, green jobs and clean energy and education. We need to put people back to work and keep them in their homes, rebuild our roads and bridges, create jobs that will build a sustainable America for the 21st century and give our children each and every possible advantage in a changing world.

As the debate moves forward on the budget we must maintain these core principles that improve the lives of working families and invest in the future of our people, our communities and our nation.
