Boehner Statement on Democrats' Calls for Another Economic Stimulus Package

Responding to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) calls for a second economic stimulus package, Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) today issued the following statement:

"If the Speaker is serious about taking action to stimulate the economy, she should start by allowing a vote on increased American energy production. The Democratic Majority's destructive tax hike and energy policies have brought our economy to a screeching halt and sent prices at the pump soaring. To help ensure long-term economic growth, the time has long passed for Speaker Pelosi and her colleagues in the Democratic leadership to end their opposition to effective energy and economic reforms that will make a real difference for consumers. Let's work together to pass an ‘all of the above' plan to increase production of American energy and lower prices at the pump. And let's work together to stop the Democrats' largest tax hike in American history."
