Republican Leaders Reaffirm Tax Promise

After not meeting a bipartisan agreement about the lingering deficit problem, House Speaker John Boehner(R-OH) along with fellow Republican leaders reaffirmed their belief that tax increases will not benefit the American people.

Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers insisted that the Republican party has been helpful in the negotiations.

“Every step of the way the House Republicans, this new majority, has been a part of the solution”, McMorris-Rodgers said, adding that the President and Democratic party need to be more open to solutions they have been placed on the table to reduce the debt.
