PENNSYLVANIA — While Democrats are hard at work in negotiations to get to the finish line on passing the Build Back Better agenda and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal, the GOP has spent nearly nine months proving time and again that they have no interest in helping the people they were elected to serve. Republican politicians across the commonwealth have made it clear that their goal of obstruction for political gain will always trump every opportunity to help their constituents in Pennsylvania.
As Democrats work to deliver for American families, here are five questions every Congressional Republican in Pennsylvania must answer:
- Why did Senator Toomey and Representatives Fitzpatrick, Perry, Smucker, Kelly and Thompson protect tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and big corporations, which added billions to the national debt, yet call tax cuts for middle-class families a “colossal waste” ?
- Data has shown that some Republican congressional districts in PA have benefitted the most from the expanded child tax credit, which will reduce poverty for about 3 million children in Pennsylvania and is popular among voters. So what do Republicans have to say for their opposition to providing relief for millions of hard working parents?
- Why don’t Pennsylvania Republicans want to lower health care costs for the American people? Because of the American Rescue Plan, people can save, on average, 40% off of their monthly premiums. Yet Republicans in Congress unanimously voted against the American Rescue Plan, and are still opposing President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda.
- Are Pennsylvania House Republicans prepared to bring down the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the hopes it will hurt Democrats and President Biden politically, even though there has been decades of bipartisan agreement that Pennsylvania needs to make critical new investments in infrastructure? The bipartisan infrastructure bill was approved by 19 Republicans in the Senate, including Mitch McConnell.
- Why did every single Pennsylvania Republican vote against a critical pandemic relief bill which included checks in the bank for Pennsylvania families, aid to small businesses, and resources to safely reopen schools?
