The Associated Press wrote today that the 111th Congress holds a “record of achievement unseen in years.” The report read:
The AP specifically referenced many of Chairman Miller’s achievements when listing important legislation Congressional Democrats have passed, including “a giant step toward universal [health care] coverage”, “an economic stimulus package… to avoid a full-blown depression”, “making college loans more affordable” and “making it easier for women to challenge pay discrimination.”
Chairman Miller pledged in 2008 to keep the Education and Labor Committee focused on rebuilding and strengthening the middle class during the 111th Congress.
“Not since the explosive years of the civil rights movement and the hard-fought debut of government-supported health care for the elderly and poor have so many big things -- love them or hate them -- been done so quickly.
“Gridlock? It may feel that way. But that's not the story of the 111th Congress -- not the story history will remember.”
