== A strong middle class = a strong America ==
The mortgage crisis. Wall Street. The loss of millions of jobs. In this economic crisis, the middle class is getting hit from all angles.That's why the President created a Middle Class Task Force and asked his right hand man, Vice President Joe Biden, to lead it. The Vice President lays out the goals of the Task Force in an op-ed appearing this morning in USA Today, which you can find on the Task Force's new site. Even though the middle class has been pummeled by this crisis, there are steps we can take to make sure the recovery doesn't just benefit the wealthy, like past expansions. This time around, we're going to grow the middle class, improve quality of life, and expand the American dream to millions of people who have shouldered the costs of our economy but not reaped its gains.So take a look at the new website of the White House Task Force on Middle Class Working Families to learn more, and be sure to leave your comments and ideas.
