Washington - Ways and Means Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) made the following statement regarding the American Jobs Act, which President Obama is sending to Congress today:
"The American Jobs Act is a strong initiative to accelerate our economic recovery and get Americans back to work and it should be acted on immediately. After eight months of inaction on jobs, it is time for House Republicans to put rigid ideologies aside and pass this measure, which is drawn from a wide-ranging slate of bipartisan proposals on job creation. More than 14 million Americans are looking for work and they should not have to wait another day for House Republicans to finally act on legislation to boost the economy."
