Nevada Senator Harry Reid this week joined low-income families and Medicare recipients to discuss continued Republican blocking of legislation to lower the high costs of living and to help Americans struggling to make ends meet. Nevadans continue to struggle as Republicans squander every opportunity to help revive the economy. As Nevadans face a weakened economy, record-high gas prices and increasing foreclosures, Republicans are blocking important help for the current economic crisis.

“We’ve given Bush-McCain Republicans every opportunity to address the biggest challenges Americans face, but they have squandered every opportunity,” said Reid adding, “Think of all the good we could have done if not for the President’s stubbornness and Republican obstruction. With a new President and Democratic Congress committed to change, we can strengthen the economy and reverse the reckless and irresponsible Bush-McCain policies that created this mess.
