There are better ways to rebuild our infrastructure than on the backs of American workers, Ways and Means Republican Leader Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) said today on Bloomberg TV’s Balance of Power.

In a conversation with David Westin, Rep. Brady said:

“Infrastructure alone, over the long term, should have good economic impact.Especially for a country that is growing like ours. You want the infrastructure to meet that growth and get ahead of it. […] Let’s not punish the economy while we’re doing infrastructure, let’s find a smarter way to finance it.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Tax Hikes Will Reverse Infrastructure Gains. Republicans and Democrats agree we need to rebuild our infrastructure. Unfortunately, Democrats’ plan wastes taxpayer dollars and hikes taxes, making America a net loser.
• Every American Will Shoulder Democrats’ Tax Hikes. America is a net loser with Democrats’ tax increases that slow hiring, slash paychecks, send jobs overseas, and weaken investment in U.S. infrastructure and communities.
• There’s a Smarter Way to Rebuild Our Infrastructure. Instead of funding infrastructure on the backs of American workers, Congress should encourage more private investment.
