I appreciate President Obama’s efforts to reach out to members of both parties as we debate the best way to stimulate our economy and create jobs.  Unfortunately, the bill House Democrats are bringing to the Floor this week was not developed under any spirit of bipartisanship, and we see the result: an $825 billion omnibus spending package that will do more to satisfy a spending agenda than create jobs in America.

Our nation is facing a serious economic crisis but the Democrats in Congress have offered a purely partisan bill that does not incorporate bipartisan recommendations.

The American people deserve to know that the President’s call for a compromise has been completely ignored by House Democrats who would use a time of national economic crisis to fund their big government priorities under the guise of stimulating the economy.

House Republicans take President Obama at his word and will urge him to make good on his pledge to set aside partisan differences and bring the best ideas from both parties to bear on this economic crisis.
