Democrats Don’t Have Time to Pass a Budget...But May Find Time to Pass Big Labor’s Card Check Scheme
WASHINGTON, D.C.,
June 24, 2010
This week, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) finally admitted what was obvious to most Americans: for the first time since modern budget rules were enacted in 1974 Democrats in Congress will not pass a budget for the next fiscal year. This failure of leadership could not come at a worse possible time: without clarity on how Democrats plan to get our fiscal house in order, families and small businesses fear record tax hikes will be imposed to help pay for the Democrats’ reckless spending and record debt. This uncertainty is keeping job creators on the sidelines and hurting our economy. Instead of taking the time to pass a budget that can get spending under control and spur economic growth, The Hill reports today on one senior Senate Democrat who would rather take the time to pass card check:
After taking more than a year to pass a government takeover of health care, the opportunity for Congress to act on commonsense solutions to create jobs and get spending under control is slipping away. The last thing the American people need is Congress wasting time on Big Labor’s job-killing card check scheme. ### |
