Simpson: Adding $150 Billion to National Debt is Not the Answer

Washington, D.C.  -  Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson issued the following statement after voting against the economic stimulus package this evening.

 

“Our nation would be far better off by passing permanent tax reductions than by offering one time rebates to a select group,” said Simpson. “Congress needs to look at some real, long-term solutions. Instead, they issue ‘small bandages’ that only allow the problem to get more severe. Adding $150 billion to our national debt is not the answer.”
