WASHINGTON - House Republicans are poised to meet with Grover Norquist on Capitol Hill today, a gathering that comes as they continue to refuse to ask millionaires and billionaires to contribute to deficit reduction, even as they vote repeatedly to end the Medicare guarantee and send health care costs soaring for seniors.
“For years Congressional Republican have put a pledge to a rigid and discredited ideology ahead of the American people," said Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI). “It’s time for Republicans to rally around asking millionaires and billionaires to contribute to deficit reduction. The vast majority of Americans disagree with Republicans on this issue for good reason: they are wrong to require seniors and the middle class to bear the burden of deficit reduction while asking nothing of the very wealthiest."
