| Republicans have made it clear they are willing to gamble with the economic recovery by letting scheduled payroll tax cuts expire at the end of the month the result of which could tip the US economy back into recession according to economists.
In response to the the House's vote to reject the Senate payroll tax extension plan, Democratic Congressional candidate Dan Grant released the following statement.
"This is a disgrace. Rejecting this bipartisan plan and risking a tax increase for millions of working families is shameful, but not surprising. This is another example of millionaire Michael McCaul, the single richest member of Congress, failing to understand what really matters to Texas' families and spending more time supporting political theater, showdowns and standoffs, than addressing these urgent problems. We need people in Congress who understand what $1000 means to a family saving for college or struggling to stay afloat in these hard times, not people willing to play politics with the lives and livelihoods of those they claim to represent."
Dan Grant, an Austin-based foreign policy expert, filed last week to run for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas' 10th Congressional District against Rep. Michael McCaul. This is the sort of strong response that's refreshing to see from Democrat.
