Voters can't count on McMorris Rodgers

Cathy McMorris Rodgers voted against a bill to help both college students and active service members. “HR 2669 — Student Loan Lender Subsidy Cuts and Student Grants,” increases Pell Grant amounts and reduced interest rates on new subsidized Stafford loans to undergraduate students, while offering service members loan payment deferment for up to 180 days after demobilization.

Cathy also claims to support American businesses, which conflicts with her vote against “House Amendment 1012 — Prohibits Federal Agencies from Contracting with Businesses Chartered in Bermuda or in the Cayman Islands.” Someone who claims to support American businesses shouldn’t vote against a bill aimed at protecting American companies from those who exploit the system to avoid paying taxes by offshoring business income.

It seems that Cathy McMorris Rodgers is counting on voters having an incredibly short attention span to get re-elected. Congress now has a lower approval rating than the English Crown during the Revolutionary War. This Congress has also been the most unproductive in our nation’s history, yet voters keep voting for the same do nothing politicians every year.

I for one will hold Cathy McMorris Rodgers accountable for her actions and inaction’s. I will be voting for Joe Pakootas.
