U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Charles E. Schumer (D-NY), Jack Reed (D-RI), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Clare McCaskill (D-MO) hold a news conference to discuss Democrats' efforts to provide tax relief to the middle class and reduce the deficit. The Senators pressed the GOP to stop holding tax cuts for the middle class hostage in order to give tax breaks to millionares and billionares.
