 Jan. 24, 2012 | Tonight at 9 p.m. President Obama will deliver his third State of the Union address to Congress and the nation. No doubt he will again challenge Congress to take action on issues critical to rebuilding America. The Center for American Progress wrote last week that Congress would be well served by looking back on their predecessors' record when considering how to strengthen the Middle Class going forward. The legislation that resulted from decisions made at other critical junctures in our nation's history "increased access to health care and education, expanded home ownership, protected the savings of average Americans, and ensured the rights of Americans in the workplace and beyond" and "As Congress debates how to build our economy back up these laws serve as a reminder that helping the middle class helps everyone…" Take a look at the 10 laws (including the National Labor Relations Act) enacted in previous difficult times that helped our nation prosper.
