Administration’s Economic Policies Have Made a Bad Situation Worse

August 2, 2012

‘Well, the President can’t have it both ways. He can’t be responsible for the economy when he thinks it’s going well, then disavow responsibility when it clearly isn’t. He’s either responsible for it or not. The Treasury Secretary had it right two years ago: the President’s policies have had a big impact on the economy. What he got wrong was the fact that the impact was negative. If we were to ask ourselves whether Americans are better off now than they were two years ago, the answer would be obvious. The President’s policies have clearly made it harder for Americans to find a job and keep it.’

That’s the story of the Senate under the current leadership. And the notion that we should just roll over and wave through these bills without having had the chance to improve them — and that Democrat Senators would be willing to be rolled — is ridiculous.’

House Votes to Protect American Families and Job Creators From President’s Proposed Tax Hikes

McConnell: House rejects ‘President’s call for new tax hikes in a slow economy’

August 1, 2012

Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Wednesday after a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives voted to prevent a massive tax hike on American families and job creators:

“A bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives stood up for small businesses and their hardworking employees today, rejecting the President’s call for new tax hikes in a slow economy. The Republican House has now acted to prevent a massive tax hike and the President’s defense cuts that would be so devastating to our national security. It’s time for Senate Democrats and the President to work with Republicans to solve these problems, rather than telling these hardworking Americans they’re not responsible for their own success while holding political show votes and ignoring the issue altogether.”
