EC from DC
January 4, 2013
When I grew up, Americans hoped for the best from their leaders. Now, they just hope we avoid the worst. I reluctantly and cautiously voted in favor of H.R. 8, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, also known as the legislation to avert the fiscal cliff, because I believe it is in reaching out and finding compromise that we find a way to move forward, keep our economy on the right track, and increase employment for hardworking people in Missouri’s Fifth District.
