On the recordApril 27, 2012
As we've noted before, in February, Congress took action to stop a payroll tax increase on millions of working families and to ensure that the tax increase did not add to the deficit. The legislation cut $5 billion from the prevention fund, and the bill received the support of 149 House Democrats, including Democrat leaders such as Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Kildee, and Mr. Courtney. I guess that the Democrats were in favor of raiding the slush fund before they were against it. With that, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Alabama (Mrs. Roby), a member of the Education and the Workforce Committee.
