Issues: Business and Consumers Government Budget and Spending

Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement regarding the January jobs report:

"Today's report is another sign that our economy continues to recover. However, an earlier report this week shows that the recovery remains fragile. It is therefore imperative that Republicans in Congress stop creating endless uncertainty and anxiety, which hurts our economy.

"Going forward we must address the deficit through a balanced approach of spending cuts and revenue. But we also must remember that the key to deficit reduction is a vibrant economy."
