The Hill:
....Rep. Deborah Pryce, another Ohio Republican who is retiring after surviving a close election in 2006, is a senior member of the Financial Services Committee, which handles a variety of critical business issues, from trade to monetary policy to insurance.
After the Dubai Ports World controversy, when Congress considered toughening rules for foreign companies to buy U.S. firms that performed critical tasks, Pryce led an effort to craft a compromise that would not crimp foreign investment in the U.S., said Nancy McLernon, senior vice president of the Organization for International Investment (OFII).
“She is definitely a member of Congress who gets it in terms of in-sourcing,” McLernon said, using the word that foreign companies use to counter complaints regarding the outsourcing of U.S. jobs overseas......
Pryce and others in the Republican Party were willing to cater to the demands of big business and industries. As a result, the American worker suffered.
>>> Republican Rep. Steve Chabot and his best pal, George W. Bush, had a little get-together that raised over $500,000 for Chabot's re-election campaign, according to WCPO. Here is more from WCPO:
....People attending Monday's fund-raiser donated $1,500 to Chabot for the right to attend the event.
A photo with Mr. Bush meant a $10,000 donation.....
......The fund-raiser comes after the President vetoed the S-CHIP, Children's Health Insurance Bill.
Chabot voted with Bush to uphold the veto......
Don't you wonder how many people paid $10,000 to have a picture with President Bush?
