Budgets are nothing if not statements of priorities.

I wont stop fighting to make life better for working Americans and give those who are just trying to find a decent job the opportunity to do so.

For too long, tricks and traps in mortgages, credit cards, and other financial transactions have stripped wealth from working families.

Budgets are nothing if not statements of priorities.

There's an enormous amount of corruption, and as one American adviser put it to me, "The police in Afghanistan are thugs. We equip them, we train them, and now they are equipped and trained thugs."

There are thousands of capable Americans who would pursue a degree in nursing if we had room in our schools for them.

Americans have powerfully sensed that we're off track. There is a structural challenge in our economy that needs to be addressed.
