The people who do not get jobs are often the most vulnerable in our society, and joblessness is a terrible plight for anyone who suffers from it.

Inflation outstripped real wages for people who work for pay from others.

A healthy Amtrak is an integral part of New York and the Nation's economy and transportation systems.

As a personal beneficiary of the service that Amtrak provides and as someone who represents a congressional district that counts on safe, reliable rail service, I am a strong supporter of providing this vital industry the funding necessary to continue operations.
