Portman on Porkulus

Statement:

“Working families in Ohio and around the country need help, and they need it now. That’s why a stimulus package should include immediate and permanent tax relief and targeted funding that creates new jobs now. The almost one trillion dollar bill passed recently by the House Democrats fails to provide that help. It focuses too much on bigger government and too little on creating jobs. It is excessive spending that adds to our already skyrocketing deficit and debt.”
