“We could take a major step toward fixing our economy today if Republicans stopped holding the Senate hostage to more tax giveaways for millionaires and CEOs who ship American jobs overseas. If Republicans shared our urgency about creating jobs, we could immediately cut taxes for the middle class and preserve unemployment insurance for the Nevadans and Americans who are still looking for work. These measures would create or save hundreds of thousands of jobs and pump money into our economy. But Republicans refuse to work with us. Instead, they are holding Washington in a state of gridlock until they get more bonus tax breaks for the same Wall Street CEOs who got us into this economic mess.”
“Job number one is putting Nevadans and all Americans back to work. Today’s news shows that there is still much work to be done. Republicans need to stop putting Wall Street CEOs ahead of everyone else, roll up their sleeves and join us in fixing our economy.”
