House Republicans work with POTUS, will POTUS work with House Republicans?

Washington, D.C.– Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement after the House passed, with his support, H.R. 674, a bill to repeal a new and costly tax provision enacted in Section 511 of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005. Diaz-Balart comments:

“As President Obama continues on his political campaign tour, House Republicans are hard at work finding common ground to move our economy forward. This bill, a provision found in the President’s jobs plan, lets businesses keep more of their money and relieves all levels of government from unfunded administrative burdens. Repealing the 3% withholding rule allows businesses to use their hard-earned money to expand and hire new employees.

“The passage of this bill demonstrates that House Republicans are willing to work with the President on common sense proposals that will get Americans back to work. I urge the President to leave his divisive, class warfare rhetoric behind and instead demand for Senator Reid to pass the 15 jobs bills that have been sitting on his desk for way too long.”
