Larson Statement on Spending Agreement

WASHINGTON – Congressman John Larson (CT-01) issued the following statement after announcement of a spending agreement between White House, Senate and House of Representatives leaders:

"Last night, Republicans took the nation to the brink, not over deficits, but over a social agenda; impeding economic recovery and boasting that this is just the start of what they want to do. Their next target: Medicare, Social Security, and working families.

While they bask in the glory of tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, and no jobs created under their watch, I am committed to fighting for working people in my district, and for Social Security, Medicare, and the jobs that are critical for my constituents."
