Barbara Boxer: “Senator Reid has laid out the devastating consequences of H.R. 1, which the Republicans have put forward as their plan…”

On the recordMarch 8, 2011
Senator Reid has laid out the devastating consequences of H.R. 1, which the Republicans have put forward as their plan to cut the budget. It is a jobs killer. It is a killer for the middle class. One of the things in H.R. 1, of many, is a huge cut to the Environmental Protection Agency. H.R. 1 destroys the Clean Air Act by giving the largest cut of any agency to the Environmental Protection Agency. If that is not enough, it prohibits the EPA from enforcing pollution laws. The Clean Air Act and the EPA are strongly supported by the American people.
