Boxer: "Poison Pill" In GOP Payroll Tax Bill "Will Kill 8,100" People For Christmas
"They have attached a poison pill -- literally, colleagues -- because it will kill 8,100 more people more than would have otherwise been killed from pollution," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Cali.) said on the Senate floor today about Republicans trying to roll back a Clean Air Act provision.
Republicans included a measure to kill an EPA regulation in their payroll tax cut proposal.
"So have that for a Christmas gift," Boxer said after she scared people with the 8,100 number.
