Statement on Status of Tax Cut Extension and Unemployment Benefits

Press Release

Date: Dec. 6, 2010
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Entitlements and the Safety Net Taxes Government Budget and Spending

During this time of economic challenges, it is important that Congress not adjourn until two important issues have been finalized. First, we need to extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts so that there are no tax increases on employers who provide much needed jobs and that there are tax breaks for middle and working class families who need the help and the jobs. Second, unemployment benefits for those that are out of work need to be extended. I urge the Administration and Congressional Leadership to keep working and find an agreement that will keep Southeastern North Carolina and the United States moving forward.
