Susan M. Collins quoted in New York Times article, "Bankers Told Recovery May Be Slow"

Susan M. Collins spoke to the New York Times following the Federal Reserve economic summit in Jackson Hole, Wyo. about the prospects of long-term economic woes in the U.S. Although it will take months to unwind the severe economic issues, "I'm very much a glass-half-full person," Collins said. "What we've seen in the past few years has been a policy success. Things are not where we want them to be, but they could have been a lot worse."
