Jerry Moran: “Toxic waste cleanup was stopped at 609 sites; 2,400 Superfund workers…”

On the recordApril 7, 2011

Toxic waste cleanup was stopped at 609 sites; 2,400 Superfund workers were sent home; 368 National Park Service sites were closed down; 7 million visitors weren't able to visit the parks; there were more than 2 million visitors who couldn't go to national museums and monuments; the Smithsonian will be shut down; Federal contractors were furloughed. Throughout this country, not just in the Federal Government, this economy took a deep hit. Jobs were lost. Money was lost. People couldn't pay their mortgages and their car payments. Don't let it happen again, Madam Speaker. Let's pass a clean CR.
