Chairman Miller Statement on President Obama’s Budget

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), the chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, issued the following statement today after President Obama released his complete budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2010.
“President Obama is serious about transforming our economy and strengthening our middle class and his budget shows it. This budget backs up his promises to reverse years of damaging policies that undermined the health and safety of our nation’s workers. It will put the success of our children first, by investing in educational opportunities that will prepare every American to compete globally and expanding access to college. It will help get our fiscal health in order by finally fixing our broken health care system and providing all Americans with affordable, quality health care coverage. It will build a clean energy economy that opens up new job opportunities for Americans and encourages innovation.  I look forward to working with his administration and Congress to put this smart and optimistic roadmap for our future into action.”
