Betty Sutton, Big Spender
Betty Sutton, Big Spender
Tonight, Betty Sutton will have the opportunity to take another spin for her extreme vision for taxing and spending which is drastically out-of-touch with reality. With Ohio families tightening their belts and living within their means during these tough economic times, voters will find it easy to reject Sutton’s extreme tax-and-spending ways.
Last year, Sutton voted for the FY2012 Congressional Black Caucus budget that would have increased taxes on Ohio families by $3.9 trillion and increased spending by $44 billion. Will Sutton vote for this drastic budget proposal being offered again now that she is facing an difficult re-election bid?
| Sutton’s Budget | |
| +$3,965,700,000,000 | Additional taxes over the next 10 years. |
| +$44,825,000,000 | Additional spending next fiscal year. |
| +$6,000,000,000 | Increased spending on foreign aid programs like the “U.S. Institute of Peace” and “Global Health and Child Survival Programs at USAID for family planning” next year. |
NRCC COMMENT: “Betty Sutton has been playing a dangerous game in Washington by supporting her party’s big-government policies at the expense of her constituents. Sutton’s addictive gambling with hardworking taxpayers’ money has devastated Ohio’s hardworking families.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
