Republicans hit out at President Seaborn's "Green stimulus plan"
The Republicans tonight following President Seaborn's "Green stimulus plan". The plan which includes increased spending on electric cars, highspeed rail and other infrastructure spending whilst allowing for some of President Walken's tax cuts to be ended.
Oregon Senator Curtis Ryan, who is in a close re-election fight with Kate Lindsay, the states House Speaker told NBS "It's like the eight years of President Walken's, tax cuts and help for business never happened. It seems the President has been got at by the "Green extremists" in his own party", whilst another Republican Senator also expected to be in a tough fight, Florida's Tannar McClay hit out "It's just a re-hash from President Santos, something that the President was a supporter of back in 2008, it will take America backwards and as it stands this plan would not have my support". It should be noted though so far, Senate Majority Leader Cody Riley has yet to make a formal reply to the President's plan.
The White House rounded up some of the usual Presidential loyalists, Senator Louise Thornton praised the plan as did Rhode Island Senator Jim Velesquez. Even though some Democrats believe that the President didn't far go far enough. Indiana Senator Rudi Robinson had been one of the first to say that President Seaborn had not gone further enough, and he was tonight joined by Washington Senator Andrew Howard and Wisconsin Senator Nate Bradshaw. "It's a good first draft" Bradshaw told CNN "but it doesn't go far enough for me, we need more spending to stimulate the economy, and larger taxes on those who can afford to pay". The President has stepped back from in the past the so-called "Wealth Tax" a dream of many on the Progressive wing of the Democratic party and those like the 2018 Green party nominee Haydn Strauss.
NBS attempted to contact the Office of Vice-President Hunter tonight but once again we where told he was not available for media requests.
