Merkley Can’t Support Tax Package

Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley says he cannot support the Obama - McConnell tax package before the Senate. Merkley says he has very strong concerns, including that it adds nearly a trillion dollars to the debt and adds bonus tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. He does like the tax cuts for working families and the continuation of unemployment benefits. But he believes this legislation is the easiest compromise and far from the best.  Merkley says he cannot support legislation that will do so little to create jobs and help working families yet cost our nation so much.
