“Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an historic $1.05 trillion health reform bill that will increase taxes when our nation can least afford it, hurt job growth when we most need it, and put our country on a path toward a government takeover of our healthcare system,” said Kaukauna roofing contractor, Reid Ribble.
“Healthcare reform is necessary, but the bill the democrats have passed is not the prescription for curing our nation’s healthcare woes. A spending bill of this magnitude, at this time, signals a lack of leadership and vision on how to get the economy back on track,” said Ribble.
“Yesterday’s unemployment numbers show that the economy is continuing to stall and by continuing to increase spending our current Congress is delaying the recovery of Northeastern Wisconsin,” added Ribble. “I am disappointed that Congressman Steve Kagen has voted in support of the measure. Once again the Congressman has voted the interests of Nancy Pelosi instead of the constituents of the 8th district.”
