Rep. Mike Thompson: 'Stop Playing Politics with America's Economy'

Congressman Mike Thompson today issued the following statement following House passage of Speaker John Boehner's deficit bill:

“Today, Speaker Boehner brought forward his proposal to address our nation's impending debt-limit crisis. Unfortunately, this short-term deal would ensure we face another crisis in six months. Rather than appealing to the most radical wing of the conservative element of the majority party, we should be finding a bipartisan, balanced solution to our current impasse. That's why I voted against this misguided legislation.”
