WASHINGTON -- Ways and Means Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today issued the following response to President Obama's State of the Union address:
"With our economy on the way back and our nation a safer place thanks to his leadership, President Obama laid out a positive, powerful and persuasive vision of the importance of the middle class and American manufacturing. The president articulated an action plan that sets our priorities in the right place -- middle class opportunity, tax fairness, and a make it in America manufacturing policy.
"The divisive policies of many Republicans in Congress -- who blame the unemployed for unemployment, put gridlock over government action, and protect tax breaks for the very wealthiest -- simply leave the middle class behind."
