Pearce: "A Better Deal in January"

Steve Pearce

From NMPolitics.net - If this week’s House and Senate votes on the Obama-GOP tax compromise had taken place next month, the entire New Mexico delegation would have opposed the deal. U.S. Rep.-elect Steve Pearce, R-N.M., says he would have voted against the deal if he had the chance. Of course, Pearce’s opposition isn’t for the same reason that the majority of the New Mexico delegation voted against the bill this week.

 “While I agree with portions of this bill, I believe the American people could get a better deal in January,” Pearce said. “I support the tax portions of the plan. No American should experience a tax increase in these troubled economic times.” “However, spending by the Washington politicians continues to build a debt that the American people cannot pay,” he said. “This bill and some of the others moving through the lame-duck Congress are too costly. After I take office in January, this is the kind of spending I hope to rein in so we can focus on getting our economy moving again to create jobs in southern New Mexico.” Read full story here:
