Marco on President Obama’s Jobs Bill
On Tuesday, the Senate voted down S.1660, the American Jobs Act of 2011. Before the vote, Marco submitted a statement for the record explaining his opposition to the bill. Read an excerpt below and the full statement here .
“Since I joined the Senate nine months ago, I have maintained my strong belief that Democrats and Republicans should work together to pass policies proven to boost economic growth like pro-growth tax and regulatory reform, lowering barriers to free trade, and cutting spending to avert our looming debt crisis. Unfortunately, the huge tax increases on job creators and more debt-financed stimulus spending in the American Jobs Act would move our nation in squarely the wrong direction.”
After the vote, Marco released a video statement on the bill. Watch the video here .
