Statement by Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) on the passage of H.R. 3630, The Middle Class Tax Relief & Job Creation Act:
December 13, 2011
"This is a responsible bill that prevents a tax increase, creates jobs and takes a step toward energy independence. It also places much needed reforms on social programs that have all too often allowed recipients to squander taxpayer dollars. This bill allows Americans to keep more of their hard earned money which is crucial in a struggling economy. Production of the Keystone pipeline will create jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil from countries that don't have our best interest at heart. This legislation is good for the taxpayer, good for the country. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to support it and the president to sign it."
