    House Vote on Fiscal Cliff

    Washington, D.C. - Rep Tim Walberg released the following statement on his vote against yesterday's year-end tax plan:

    "I am extremely disappointed after all the negotiations and effort that went into avoiding the so-called `fiscal cliff', the president and Congress again put off meaningful action to reduce spending and secure the future for our children and grandchildren. Again, with our economy struggling, it's clear that Washington missed an opportunity to promote tax and spending policies that will grow our economy over the long-term.

    I believe the federal government needs to live within its means, because trillion-dollar deficits threaten our economy and opportunities for future generations. I will continue to support immediate spending reductions, reforming our tax code and a Balanced Budget Amendment to hold Congress accountable and require fiscal responsibility. It is my hope that this will begin in the next Congress and lead to a long-term solution."

    Rep Walberg Votes To Block Congressional Pay Raise

    Washington, D.C. – Today Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 6726, the Congressional Pay Freeze and Fiscal Responsibility Act, to extend the current pay freeze for federal employees and Members of Congress for one year. H.R. 6726 passed with bipartisan support by a vote of 287 - 129.

    “It is fiscally irresponsible to lift the pay freeze for Members of Congress while our national debt soars above $16 trillion. Instead, we need to look for more ways to cut spending and encourage long-term job creation. Every day hard-working families and small businesses across Michigan live within their means and Congress has a responsibility to do the same,” commented Rep Walberg following the vote.

    Enough of the bloviating give 'em a harrumph crap pressers.  Enough of protecting Tim's phony job.  

    Where does Tim Walberg, stand on keeping the Orange Weeper of the House?

    Of mice and men, Boehner is an owned b!tch that has to go.

    Standing in the White House lobby not far from the Oval Office, Boehner pointed his finger at Reid and sneered, 'Go f*-k yourself,' Politico reported, citing multiple sources present.

    Reid replied: 'What are you talking about?'

    Boehner repeated: 'Go f*-k yourself.'

    No John, F*ck You!

    Along with the Orange Weeper's immediately rallied Fred Upton Club career RINO squishes that gifted 85 votes to Team Obama.
