Republicans many times can't get the words 'equality of opportunity' out of their mouths. Their lips do not form that way.

I am shocked that Republicans can't explain why our technological and economic advantages are the result of sound monetary and economic policy.

There is a kind of victory in good work, no matter how humble.

The zeitgeist is for cutting spending and balancing the budget. But I do not want the Republican Party to be perceived as putting the budget ahead of people, jobs and education.

The chance to own a home; chance to own an education; chance to get access to capital. This is the real civil rights battle of the twenty-first century.

Its no secret that I've never liked tax credits.

The problem is that the economy isn't growing fast enough to accommodate the level of spending produced through the democratic process.
