We need to stabilize the banking sector. This means strengthening Americans’ confidence in our banking systems and keeping the banks and lending institutions in check.

We need to get more Americans back to work. Let’s provide more support to public works projects, so that communities in need can have good government jobs building bridges and tunnels.

Government and business must work together to solve this crisis.
