John Garamendi: “Once again, most of these tax reductions came about through the stimulus bill, the American Recovery and Reinvestment…”

And I will point out, as I did at the opening, that not one Republican voted for these extraordinarily important tax reductions that are great for individuals, for families, for working men and women, for middle class America, and at the same time, are creating new jobs in the green economy and the automobile industry, and even for those folks that are selling cars in Wisconsin.
