(Washington D.C.)- Congressman Sander Levin (D-Royal Oak) issued the following statement in response to President Bush’s address on the need for economic stimulus today:
"The willingness of the Bush Administration to work with both Republicans and Democrats in the Congress on an economic stimulus package is both welcomed and vital. If we stay focused on the principle that an economic stimulus package should be timely, targeted and temporary, we can reach bi-partisan agreement on the details and move forward quickly to provide relief where it is needed most.
“The President referred today to ‘a risk of a downturn,’ but millions of families including those in Michigan have already been experiencing a downturn in their economic security. That’s why economic experts agree that it is most effective to put more resources in the hands of individuals and families struggling to meet rising costs who will spend that money right away and boost the economy immediately.
“It is also vital that we consider the needs of states like Michigan that have been particularly hard hit by the nation’s manufacturing jobs crisis.”
