We need to focus on getting people back to work, focus on jobs, the economy, the debt and the spending. That's what will improve the quality of life for American families and for hard-working taxpayers.

Livable neighborhoods with a vibrant street life will stimulate our economic life as well.

Although we work through financial markets, our goal is to help Main Street, not Wall Street.

Our focus is on helping people develop the skills to find and keep a job. Instead of focusing on a war against poverty, we will focus on fighting for the poor among us by offering them hope and opportunity.

The number one focus of the American people has been jobs and the economy.

When our markets work, people throughout our economy benefit - Americans seeking to buy a car or buy a home, families borrowing to pay for college, innovators borrowing on the strength of a good idea for a new product or technology, and businesses financing investments that create new jobs.

The American people want economic prosperity, high-quality goods and low prices, all of which I support.

We are particularly poor at the open economy issues.

We have to start grounding our policies in facts and recognize that a strong economy is critical for funding progressive priorities.

We need a positive economic agenda that invests in the innovation and growth that will create jobs for middle class families and ensure that America remains the world leader.
