Rep. Doggett Delivers Floor Speech in Support of 'Least Worst' Reid Alternative

July 30, 2011

Washington-- Today, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett delivered the following remarks on the floor of the House of Representatives in support of the Reid debt solution.

"While imperfect and imbalanced, this Reid proposal protects educational opportunities for college students and retirement security through Medicare and Social Security. On important public services, it provides more resources than the reactionary House Republican budget," said Rep. Doggett. "With House Republicans still at fault for refusing to seek any middle ground, this proposal is the least worst alternative to avoid default."
