Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez joined other Democrats in adressing the potentially devastating consequences the Republican Spending Bill will have on the country’s ability to out-innovate and out-build our global competitors.
“There is no question that the number one priority of this Congress should be jobs. And we should be creating jobs in this country, not watching helplessly as they continue to go overseas--jobs that we are losing to countries who understand the need to invest in the future. We can’t expect to be competitive in a global economy if we don't prioritize American innovation.
“Republicans want to cut $2.5 billion from the National Institutes of Health budget. They want to cut $1.4 billion in science and energy research towards clean energy. They want to cut 20,000 researchers supported by the National Science Foundation.
“We have the hardest working people in the world, but the short-sighted cuts Republicans want to make threaten future job growth. We must foster opportunity, not kill it.
