No one got everything they wanted but the American people got what they needed. We averted an economic crisis and an economic collapse.
We’re cutting spending and bringing deficits down. And, we protected important priorities from Social Security to Medicare to Medicaid to veterans to our transformational investments in infrastructure and clean energy.
