Statement from the Lally for Congress campaign
Since the current budget rules were put into place in 1974, the House has never failed to pass an annual budget resolution…. until now. With our nation reeling from 10 percent unemployment, 14.3 trillion in debt, and a 33 percent drop in new home sales, Congressman Yarmuth and the Pelosi Congress deliver another blow to the economic security of taxpayers and residents in Louisville, Kentucky. He comes back to the district with no budget, no path to reduce the deficit and tired excuses about the former administration. This kind of procedural incompetence can no longer be tolerated.
Today, there are two worlds: the real world, where Americans are struggling in these terrible economic times and are anxious about the national debt’s effect on their children’s future, and the fantasy world of John Yarmuth and the Pelosi Congress, who believe government and its failed programs will solve the fiscal emergency our government currently faces. Now, more than ever, Mr. Yarmuth’s voting record paints a clear picture of why he must be replaced, and checks and balances restored to Washington DC.
