Good one, Mrs. Pelosi
It’s Recess – Do You Know Where Your Wedge Issue Is?
House Democrats are home for a long Memorial Day break with a gift-wrapped wedge issue delivered just in time for district campaigning. One of their final actions before adjourning late Friday was passing a measure that would strip tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas by a 215-204 vote.
“They are voting against jobs,” the Democrat said in a preview of television attack ads and pressure campaigns Republicans can expect this week.
Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao (R-LA) was the lone GOPer to agree with the majority party, though Republicans are quick to point out that 34 House Democrats opposed the outsourcing amendment. </em>
Well played, Pelosi. Above the gamesmanship of it, its a good bill. Why give tax breaks to companies who take the money and run?
