RSC Republican Study Committee

Washington, Dec 11, 2009 - Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after the House voted to pass H.R. 4173, a nearly 1,300 page bill that will fundamentally remake the U.S. economy. Read Chairman Price’s previous comments on the bill here.

“This legislation will only solidify the problems that exist in our financial system, and it won’t do a thing to help the millions of Americans who can’t find work,” said Chairman Price. “House Democrats continue to follow a ‘government knows best’ approach to our economy. This bill is another giant step away from the free market principles that made us the greatest nation in the world.  We should be working on real solutions for job growth and appropriate regulatory reforms that would have little to no cost to taxpayers. Americans prosper when they have the freedom to choose for themselves how best to utilize their hard-earned dollars. They want jobs and a return to free market principles, not more bailouts, takeovers, and government intervention.”
