Fiscal Cliff Solution Ignores Spending Crisis

January 14, 2013
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx offers her rationale for voting against the Senate fiscal cliff "deal" to Raleigh's Fox 50: "Since May House Republicans have acted in good faith to generate ideas to avert the fiscal cliff. Our balanced proposals have been designed to protect American jobs and begin the hard work of overcoming America's debt crisis. Thus, I could not in good conscience vote for a Senate "deal" that delays savings while expanding spending subsidies, ignoring the real drivers of debt, and using harmful new taxes as justification for government growth." 2013.01.02 - WRAZ Fox 50, Raleigh
