Hoyer: Republicans Play Political Games at the Expense of the Middle Class, Job Creation

 

“Republicans again refused to work together to help the middle class and continue creating jobs.  Instead they chose to play a political game with a gotcha amendment intended solely to block the COMPETES Act, which is a key measure to create the jobs that will keep our nation the world’s leader in research and development.  I look forward to bringing this legislation back to the House Floor next week, and I hope Republicans will join us in advancing another job-creating bill through the House instead of focusing on the November election.”
