ProsperUS Warns Against Deeply Damaging House Rules Changes
Claire Guzdar, spokesperson for the ProsperUS coalition, reacted to yesterday’s passage of the new House Republican rules package with the following statement:
“House Republicans have jammed through a rules package that makes it very clear what their priorities this Congress will be: more tax breaks for the rich; massive cuts to health care, education, and other family priorities; and politically-motivated manufactured crises.
“The House Republican rules package puts this Congress on a path we’ve traveled before, which will lead to slower economic growth, fewer good jobs, and hurt for millions of families by slashing the investments they need at a time when we should be cementing and building on our economic recovery. We demand better from Congressional leadership – it’s time to make the economically-sound investments that families need to thrive.”
