Judd Gregg Upset Key Constituency Will Lose Money

by: Dean Barker

Fri Aug 06, 2010 at 07:07:56 AM EDT
Our senior senator is upset that money will be taken away from his one of his key constituencies - multi-national corporations - and given to spoiled New Hampshire instead:
After months of uncertainty, the state appears likely to get $22 million more in federal money in 2011 than it had budgeted for.

...Republican Sen. Judd Gregg voted against it. Gregg has said the bill is pandering to teachers unions at the expense of raising taxes on multinational corporations - which could move jobs overseas.

You see, it's now New Hampshire's fault that multi-national firms move jobs overseas.  If only we weren't so greedy!

In other news, New Hampshire gets about 71 cents back from the federal government for every one dollar we give to it.

are we spending money educating children anyway?  Those lazy moochers should get a job!

(Good News About New Hampshire)

Gregg's vote on this bill makes it sadly and painfully obvious that he's attempting to take the Republican national playbook and apply it in New Hampshire - that is, prevent Democrats from achieving policy successes, even at the expense of the overall economy and human lives. Judd Gregg knows that the only way John Stephen and Republican house and senate candidates win in November is to convince people who aren't paying attention that Democrats aren't doing anything to fix the nation's and state's problems. With New Hampshire under the sensible guidance of Governor Lynch and Democratic majorities in the house and senate, the obstructionism of Gregg and his mini-mes in the state legislature has failed. New Hampshire has one of the strongest economies and now has one of the healthiest budgets in the country, and Democrats can take sole credit for those accomplishments.

Only the left protects anyone's rights.

was once the George Bush poodle, and now is the pawn of Mitch McConnell.  NH is so fortunate to have another senator who votes for the people and not the corporations.
