Scorecard Based On Important Economic Votes For The First Session Of The 112th Congress
Washington, D.C. – Sen. Orrin Hatch was recognized today by Americans for Prosperity (AFP) a renowned national grassroots organization committed to smaller government and free enterprise, as one of only five United States Senators to receive a perfect 100-percent score on key economic votes cast during the first session of the 112th Congress. He joined Senators Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), and Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) in receiving this prestigious A+ rating.
Some of the noted votes dealt with such issues as the 2012 appropriations bills, the budget, the repeal of ObamaCare, and ending ethanol subsidies.
"The 112th Congress is dealing with some of the most critical economic issues of many generations," stated Hatch. "We must set our country on a better course of fiscal responsibility, less government, and above all else stop the insatiable spending that has defined Washington for far too long. I am working diligently to address these issues so that free enterprise can flourish and government will not be the answer to every challenge we face."
