Gohmert Attacks Obama’s Deficit Package

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tyler Congressman Louie Gohmert joins other Republicans going after President Obama’s long-term deficit package. Gohmert remarks, “He does more damage to the economy than I could have dreamed.” Among other things, Gohmert says the package would wipe out independent oil producers, opening the door for big oil companies to charge more. Gohmert also targets the American Infrastructure Financing Authority, which the congressman terms “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on steroids.” And he criticizes the package’s increased taxes on the wealthy.
