Pence Blasts Romer Over Spending Remarks

House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) told CNBC’s Larry Kudlow that outgoing White House economic adviser Christina Romer was wrong to yesterday promote increased government spending.

Republicans, said Pence, are “going to continue to demand that this administration and this Congress make it clear that no American will see a tax increase in January of next year. You know, it really is extraordinary to hear Christina Romer on her last day on the job continuing to advocate higher taxes on job creators in this country.”
