JASON LEVESQUE COMMENTS ON CONGRESSMAN MICHAUD’S VOTES TO SPEND MAINE’S FUTURE GENERATIONS INTO GREATER DEBT

Mike Michaud Vote to Allow Congress to Spend More Money…Then Votes to Spend it.

Auburn, Maine – Maine’s 2nd District Congressman Mike Michaud voted last night to give Congress an increase in their spending limit, hiking the amount the nation is allowed to deficit spend and guaranteeing generations of Maine citizen’s will be paying it back. The vote to increase the debt limit by $300 billion was shortly followed by a vote to spend an additional $175 billion on a second attempt to create jobs, since the first trillion dollar venture failed. Jason Levesque released the following statement on Michaud’s votes:

“Congressman Michaud sided with the Pelosi Team of his party and supported both an increase in the debt ceiling and nearly $200 billion in new spending. Maine families are struggling and we need jobs. We need the efforts to allow tax credits and deduction for businesses, what we do not need is hundreds of billions more spent to do what the Congress has failed to do--stimulate the economy and create jobs. In Mike’s own home town area of Millinocket, unemployment is at 14.5%. This is outrageous. We need to bring jobs back to Maine and we need them now. More big government programs are not the answer. We can create jobs by loosening the overburdening regulations that have strangled our economy and shut down our workforce. We can loosen the restrictions, implement tax incentives for small businesses and Maine’s job market will begin to grow again. These are the real reforms we need and the ones Congressman Michaud has been unwilling to do. Let’s stop the Congressional spending spree and start the common sense and fiscal responsibility that the people of Maine have entrusted Congressman Michaud with.” -- Jason Levesque, Maine’s 2nd District Congressional Candidate.
