Full announcement from Rep. Heath Shuler's office:
Washington, DC --- U.S. Representative Heath Shuler (D-NC) released the following statement after the announcement that the bipartisan Joint Select Committee, or Super Committee, failed to come up with the $1.2 trillion deficit reduction plan required under the Budget Control Act.
“It is shameful that the Super Committee allowed partisan politics to obstruct the meaningful fiscal reform our nation needs for long-term economic stability and job growth,” said Rep. Shuler. “Failure was not an option for the 12 members of the Super Committee, and their inability to reach a compromise on a deficit reduction strategy may now have a devastating impact on our national economy and global markets. This failure is beyond disappointing, especially in light of the broad bipartisan, bicameral support the Super Committee had from nearly 150 Members in Congress to ‘Go Big’ and come up with a comprehensive, $4 trillion deficit reduction plan that puts our country on a long-term fiscally sustainable path.”
