NRSC Response to Landrieu's Fundraiser for Reid

Friday, 20 November 2009 14:16

"It’s not surprising that Mary Landrieu wants to repay Harry Reid now that he’s bought her vote for the Democrats’ massive $2.5 trillion government-run health care plan, but their backroom deals in Washington are not helping the people of Louisiana, who still faced 7.4 percent unemployment in October 2009. As the federal budget deficit for 2009 reached $1.42 trillion - a number higher than the total national debt for the first 200 years of the United States - perhaps Landrieu should focus less on repaying her liberal friends in Washington and more on getting Louisiana’s economy back on track." - Amber Wilkerson Marchand, NRSC spokeswoman
