Congressman Tom Perriello and his Party of Debt are at it again. Perriello recently released a press release claiming he was standing up for Americans by his vote for the so-called “American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act.” But as usual, he isn’t telling the whole story.
While Perriello claims the bill will boost jobs by closing tax loopholes for companies moving jobs overseas, he won’t tell you that it also increases the trillion dollar federal deficit by another $123 billion. Perriello said, “We’ve instituted pay as you go (for legislation) and supported the balanced budget commission. We’re taking the deficit very seriously.” But Perriello and the Democrats aren’t really. They routinely ignore their own pay-as-you-go rules to borrow-and-spend us further into debt. Not only that, they use typical Party of Debt accounting tricks to make the increases in deficit spending appear less than they really are.
Perriello thinks he’s “standing for Americans” by adding more and more to the federal debt burden of every taxpayer, which is already above $118,000! Clearly, he’s not standing for us. And it is equally clear the only way to stop his spending madness is to vote him out of power come November.
