Today, Congresswoman Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) issued the following statement after the House voted to extend the payroll tax cut, unemployment insurance and Medicare doc fix:
“While I am relieved that my constituents will continue to have a little more money in their pockets when they get their paychecks; that if they lost their jobs in the recession and downsizing, they will continue to get the help they need to make ends meet; and that the seniors in my district who depend on Medicare can continue to see their doctors – I cannot condone how the Republicans are going after the pensions of federal workers while they continue to protect millionaires and billionaires.”
