CFA Urges House to Vote Against Restoration of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act
Friday, July 2, 2010 11:34 AM
Yesterday, CFA sent out a vote alert to urge members of the House to reject the Restoration of Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act. The Unemployment Extension Act of 2010 will end up costing taxpayers $33 million while doing nothing to improve the economic current. In addition, this bill cannot be fully paid for with existing revenues. The bill is another example of a failed spending policy that will irresponsibly extend unemployment benefits to November. From our alert:
Taxpayers are not fooled. This bill continues to spend money we don’t have on programs that do nothing to improve the economic climate. Little in this bill is paid for with existing revenues - after the disastrous “stimulus” proposals of the past year, Congress should stop forcing taxpayers to shoulder the burden of more failed spending policies.
