Statement on the Passage of the Economic Stimulus Package

Jan 30, 2008 — (Jeffersonville, IN) – Congressional Candidate Mike Sodrel released the following statement in response to the House passage of the Economic Stimulus Package:

"I commend Congress for passing much needed tax relief, but this is just a start.

"The President's tax cuts are set to expire in two years. Should that occur, Americans will see a tax increase as rates return to pre-2001 levels.

"I urge Congress to make the President's tax cuts permanent and pass lasting tax reform. Americans cannot make long term financial decisions based on short term tax policy.
