Senate "deal" Ignores Drivers of Debt

January 14, 2013
WXII in Winston-Salem airs Congresswoman Virginia Foxx's thoughts on the Senate fiscal cliff "deal" - "Washington rhetoric cannot mask the fact that the country's debt crisis and consequent fiscal cliff are symptoms of the larger problem of uncontrollable government spending. 2012 yielded the third highest annual tax revenue in American history. Sadly, government spending was just as historic. Unless spending is reined in and trillion dollar deficits become a thing of the past, no level of tax increases will solve the problem." 2013.01.02_WXII - NBC 12
