| https://jordan.house.gov/media/press-releases/jordan-statement-president-obamas-tax-deal | Jordan Statement on President Obama's Tax Deal | 2010-12-17 | 2010 | 2010-12 | Republican | House | OH | Jim Jordan | J000289 | jordan.house.gov | jordan | https://jordan.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Late this evening, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) issued the following statement on his vote against H.R. 4853, the tax bill led by President Obama. "Despite the fact that my fellow conservatives and I have fought long and hard against the income tax increases scheduled for the end of this year, I simply could not support this flawed compromise bill." "The American people have been speaking out for the past two years against the out-of-control spending of the Obama administration and Pelosi Congress. Though I strongly support cutting income taxes for all Americans, this bill is saddled with $95 billion in new federal spending that will increase the deficit, and also contains a massive increase in the estate tax that will hurt the families, farmers and small business owners in my district and across America." "Democrats rejected an amendment I offered in rules committee that would have cut over $149 billion in federal spending to offset the $95 billion in spending in this bill. Congress cannot continue to spend like there is no tomorrow. The out-of-control spending must stop. We cannot allow the compromise to put more debt on the backs of our children and grandchildren. We can, and must, do better." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:52Z |

The RSC has been the voice of conservative Republicans in the U.S. House since 1973. With the sweeping results of the November election, the RSC is expected to have a record-high of more than 160 members in January. "I thank my fellow members for the opportunity to lead and continue the strong RSC tradition. I believe strongly in the principles and values that unite our members and look forward to leading a group that will fight for conservative principles, develop policy and be a forum for common sense solutions and ideas." "It is important that the new Congress remembers the message the American people sent on election day," said Jordan. "People want Congress to stop the out-of-control spending, reverse the expansion of government into people's personal lives, and put America back on a fiscally-responsible track." Jordan said that he is particularly excited about the potential impact the dozens of new Republicans elected in November's wave election will have. "These newly-elected Republicans are the cavalry, sent by the American people to Washington to change things," said Jordan. "If we are going to tackle the budget and make the type of changes we need, it is critical that our new members stand strong on principle as we move into the majority." Jordan currently serves as chairman of the RSC Budget and Spending Task Force and succeeds outgoing Chairman Tom Price (GA-06). Jordan was elected in November to his third term representing Ohio's Fourth Congressional District. A native of Champaign County, Ohio, Jordan graduated from the University of Wisconsin, where he was a two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion. He later became assistant wrestling coach at the Ohio State University, where he earned his masters degree. Jordan received his law degree from Capital University.

"I'm honored to receive this award from the Ohio Farm Bureau," Jordan said. "The Farm Bureau does vital work in promoting and supporting Ohio's agricultural economy, on which one in every seven Ohio jobs depends." The award is given to members of Congress nominated by their state Farm Bureaus based on their voting record, co-sponsorship of legislation supporting Farm Bureau priorities, and leadership on agricultural issues. "I always enjoy meeting with Farm Bureau members at home and in Washington and hearing their views on important federal matters," Jordan said. "We share many goals, including expanding trade opportunities for Ohio producers, eliminating the death tax, and protecting farm operations from job-killing regulations. As the House reconvenes this week, I will continue to fight on behalf of all of Ohio's farmers on these issues." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:43Z |

In fact, for the first time in modern history, they failed to even offer a budget to account for their spending. Republicans understand the American people are speaking out for leadership to get our budget deficit under control – by reducing Washington spending. Today on AmericaSpeakingOut.com, Reps. Jim Jordan and Tom Price are offering the American people concrete steps that can be taken to attack our enormous deficit. Price and Jordan say we shouldn't be balancing the budget on the backs of American taxpayers with job-killing tax hikes. Instead, we need we need to stop the practice of recklessly spending and passing the bill on to our kids and grandkids. A video message from Reps. Jordan and Price, as well as their idea posted on AmericaSpeakingOut.com can be found below. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:40Z |

"Congress is spending like there's no tomorrow, and now they're calling everyone back to Washington to spend even more," Jordan said. "Instead of holding a special session to spend even more money that we don't have, I believe Congress should hold a special session to pass a balanced budget and get the country's finances back on track. That's exactly what I have asked Speaker Pelosi to do, and I stand ready to spend the entire August recess in Washington if that's what it takes to bring fiscal responsibility back to that town." According to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, Jordan has the most fiscally conservative policy agenda of all House and Senate members. The text of Jordan's letter to Speaker Pelosi follows. August 6, 2010 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker United States House of Representatives H-232 The Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: As the House prepares to reconvene next week to spend an additional $26.1 billion in emergency bailout funding, I share the concerns of millions of Americans that it will do so in the absence of a Fiscal Year 2011 budget resolution. As Budget Committee Chairman Spratt has often said, "If you can't budget, you can't govern." Majority Leader Hoyer echoed these thoughts when he said that passing a budget is "the most basic responsibility of governing." Regrettably, Mr. Hoyer has also confirmed that the House will not meet this most basic responsibility this year—which, by statute, should have been completed by April 15. If the House fails to even consider a budget resolution, it will be the first time since passage of the 1974 Congressional Budget Act that it will have done so. With less than two months remaining before the new fiscal year starts, I remain the only House member to have introduced… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:40Z |

"Today's announcement affirms the important role that the 179th has played in our national defense and homeland security efforts for more than 60 years," Jordan said. "Locating all C-27J training activities in Mansfield would greatly benefit not only the men and women of the 179th but the National Guard as a whole." In a statement today, Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley and Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton A. Schwartz said that either Mansfield Lahm or Key Field Air Guard Station in Meridian, Mississippi, will conduct training operations for the new C-27J mid-range cargo plane. In the coming months, the Air Force will conduct surveys and environmental impact analyses at the two bases to gauge their suitability for the mission. A final decision is expected in December. The 179th is already slated to be the first unit in the nation to receive a C-27J mission, with the first planes expected to arrive in August. Since taking office in 2007, Jordan has made the C-27J program a top priority. He has expressed his strong support for bringing the FTU to Mansfield to his House colleagues and top Air Force and National Guard officials, citing Mansfield Lahm's two runways, clear airspace, and lack of competing commercial carriers as suitable for C-27J training. He joined Mansfield's Guardsmen in promoting the 179th's unique qualifications to General Raymond E. Johns, Jr., Commander of the Air Force's Air Mobility Command, during his visit to Mansfield last November. "Tens of millions of federal infrastructure dollars have been invested at Mansfield Lahm in the last decade," Jordan said. "That fact, coupled with strong community support for the Guard and the vast military experience of Mansfield's Guardsmen, makes Mansfield the ideal location for this tra… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:35Z |

The amendments call for a one percent, five percent and up to a 38% cut to the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations Bill to be voted on as early as Thursday. A one percent across-the-board cut will save the taxpayer $674 million. A five percent cut will save $3.37 billion. The 38% cut would return the spending level to that of Fiscal Year 2008 prior to the Democrats' failed stimulus package – a savings of $18.6 billion in taxpayer dollars. THUD funding increased over 20 percent from $55 billion in FY09 to a proposed $67.4 billion in FY11 exclusive of stimulus funding, much of which was spent on transportation projects. Last week the Office of Management and Budget's Mid-Session Review revised debt, deficit, and spending estimates upward. According to OMB, the federal debt will be more than two-thirds of GDP in 2020; $440 billion more than President Obama's February budget estimate. This reflects the 84% increase in non-defense discretionary spending President Obama has presided over. "Spending in Washington is out-of-control, and the American people are tired of borrowing against our children's future to pay for irresponsible spending today," said Rep. Jordan. "Whether it is taking spending back to the 2008 level, or making across-the-board cuts of one or five percent, now is the time for Congress to stand up and show the American people that we hear their message and we're ready to bring some fiscal responsibility back to this town." "This week we are giving our colleagues a choice," Blackburn said. "They can save a penny or a nickel on every dollar they spend, or they can even return spending to pre-stimulus levels. The choice will be theirs, but the time for tough choices has come. We may have to spend less to subsidize tickets on Amtrak and we might have to roll back grants to pr… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:35Z |

NTUF computed the annualized cost of 1,698 pieces of legislation introduced in 2009, then calculated for each House and Senate member the total amount of spending contained in the bills they sponsored and cosponsored. Jordan's policy agenda was found to have cut federal spending by $229.8 billion. The next highest-ranked spending cutter was Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) with $162.2 billion in proposed cuts. "Last year, about one in four House members had legislative agendas to reduce—rather than raise—federal spending, while fewer still proposed to cut the budget by more than $100 billion," said Pete Sepp, Executive Vice President of the NTUF. "If all lawmakers had sponsored agendas similar in savings to that of Congressman Jordan, the federal budget deficit would likely be significantly lower than it is today." Jordan said that he was honored by the findings of the NTUF and would continue to work on the spending reductions contained in his balanced budget legislation, H.Con.Res. 281. "Despite the trillions in bailouts and failed stimulus plans, Congress continues to spend like there is no tomorrow," Jordan said. "I think it is great that the National Taxpayers Union Foundation shines the light on Congress's out-of-control spending. I hope every American will take a moment to examine the record of their member of Congress." The study found that the number of "spending increase" bills introduced in the House outnumber "spending cut" bills by a ratio of 16 to 1. Spending increase bills in the Senate outnumbered spending cut bills 18 to 1. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:35Z |

President Obama, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) and Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio) promised that ObamaCare would not allow tax dollars to be used to take the life of unborn children. They have broken this promise, and they must now answer to the people they represent. The Stupak-Kaptur-Driehaus executive order, signed by President Obama, was not worth the paper it was printed on. It was merely a ploy to give so-called pro-life Democrats an excuse to vote for a federal takeover of health care that allows taxpayer funding of abortion. Pro-life members of Congress warned against this from day one. Pennsylvania is the first state where ObamaCare forces taxpayers to subsidize abortion. Which state will be the next? Jordan won the Pro-Life Legislator of the Year Award and the Defender of Life Award as a state legislator, and is a member of the Ohio Right to Life Pro-Life Hall of Fame. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:35Z |

The bill, signed into law by President Barack Obama yesterday, contains a controversial "individual mandate" provision requiring, under penalty of law, that every American purchase health insurance. Failing to comply with this new federal mandate can result in a prison sentence and monetary penalty of up to 2.5 percent of a person's income. To date, a bipartisan group of thirteen (13) state attorneys general have launched legal action against the measure. "Through phone calls, faxes, emails and visits to the Capitol, Ohioans have made it clear they do not want government-run healthcare," said Jordan. "They deserve to know that their leaders are examining this from every possible angle to make sure it meets constitutional muster." Added Rep. Pat Tiberi, (R-Genoa Township), "The government is inserting itself into very personal family decisions and Ohioans as well as all Americans have a right to have the constitutionality of the individual mandate fully examined," said Congressman Pat Tiberi. "It is hard to comprehend civil and criminal penalties for not having health care, or a plan deemed ‘insufficient' by the Federal government. Under this bill, the IRS will hire thousands of new agents to harass people and levy penalties against them, in a clear abuse of bureaucracy. I call on our state's top law enforcement agent to stand up for all Ohioans to ensure this bill does not reach beyond the freedoms and liberties laid out in the United States Constitution," said Rep. Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green). "With the stroke of a pen, President Obama enacted a trillion-dollar healthcare bill that will ultimately result in higher costs, … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:21Z |

"As America engaged in a national discussion over health care for the past year, I heard directly from thousands of our constituents. They called, e-mailed. wrote letters and attended town hall meetings. They talked to me at the grocery store and even traveled to Washington. Their message was clear: We don't want this bill." "Unfortunately, instead of listening to the American people, Democrat leaders twisted arms, used taxpayer money to cut deals, and made a mockery of the legislative process in order to get the votes necessary to pass this legislation." "Our healthcare system needs reform, not a government takeover. I helped develop an alternative reform measure that was never considered, and I offered an amendment to this bill last week to prevent taxpayer funding of abortion, which was defeated when so-called pro-life Democrats changed their votes to no." "Americans want Congress to focus on job creation and getting federal spending under control. Instead, President Obama and Speaker Pelosi continue pressing forward with their big government agenda. Ten years from now, when the government-run health care system has grown beyond expectation and the American people are trying to stop Congress from rationing health care to contain costs; we will look back on this day with great regret." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:21Z |

"Congressional earmarks have become a symbol of what most Americans believe is wrong in Washington D.C.," said Jordan. "Federal spending is out-of-control, we're borrowing from our children to pay for today's overspending, and the priorities of Congress are completely out of line with the American public." An earmark commonly refers to federal spending requested by individual Members of Congress to benefit an entity or project in their district or state. The process received increased scrutiny in recent years, revealing that some of the $15.8 billion in earmarked federal spending last year has gone to projects across the country like: - $50 million to eradicate and prevent the spread of the Asian Long-Horned Beetle - $2 million to the Consortium for Wildlife Bycatch Reduction - $1,500,000 for "natural stream design" "To get our economy back on the right track, we have to get federal spending under control. Certainly all earmarks are not bad, but we have to set priorities and make tough decisions. We have to have the guts to eliminate the ‘bridges to nowhere' that are a waste of taxpayer dollars," Jordan said. "The American people deserve to know that their tax dollars are being spent based on merit, not political muscle." "The time is right to call a time-out on earmarks," Jordan concluded. "I know that in order to truly fix the system, it must be a bipartisan effort. I am proud to join my Republican colleagues in taking the first step, and I look forward to working with anyone from either party who share my passion for bringing fiscal responsibility back to this town." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:21Z |

Jordan released the following statement in response to President Obama's healthcare proposal; "The President's healthcare plan contains the same bad policies that have been rejected by Americans throughout the recent healthcare debate. It still imposes mandates on individuals and employers, still continues to ignore real medical liability reform and still raises taxes. This repackaged plan puts Washington bureaucrats in charge of defining ‘quality' healthcare, a strong point of contention among my constituents in the fourth district. Rather than integrating common-sense solutions into a plan that all Americans can support, the White House is doubling down on their effort to create a government takeover of healthcare." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:19Z |

For the past year, President Obama and Speaker Pelosi have led the nation on a reckless course of uncontrolled spending and a massive new government expansion into the private businesses and personal lives of Americans. These big-government policies, from the $787 billion stimulus bill that failed to create jobs, to the budgets and bailouts that are creating an insurmountable debt for our children and grandchildren, have been disastrous to our economy. Tonight, the President said he wants to increase federal spending even more, then "freeze" spending at an ultra-high level. Continuing this irresponsible level of spending will further put this country on a collision course with disaster. Last week, the voters of Massachusetts sent a clear message to Washington – stop the big spending. The President heard the same message when he visited with job-creators in Ohio last week – big spending doesn't create jobs. I have supported the concept of a freeze, but the baseline number must be much lower. If the President is willing to freeze non-security spending at the levels from when he took office last year – before the stimulus, before the other big increases - then you will find Republicans ready to work with him. If the administration is serious about fiscal responsibility, then let's get to work – but it's going to take more than budget gimmicks and bloated baselines to get our economy moving again. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:16Z |

Wade decision that shook the very principles upon which our nation was founded. Amidst the number of pressing challenges we face today, from the tragedy in Haiti to difficult economic times at home, I urge every American to set aside time this week to reflect for a moment on the sacred gift of human life. The Pro-Life movement is deeply rooted in the culture of life that has been here since America's founding. The Declaration of Independence itself lists a series of "first principles" that proclaimed for the world the basic truths that justified the revolution and formed the bedrock of the new nation they were forming. Each time I read the Declaration, I'm amazed at the wisdom of the founders and the vision they had for what this nation would offer its citizens. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Next to scripture, I believe those are the greatest words ever put on paper. Consider the wisdom the founders had in choosing the order to mention these "first principles" of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Can you truly pursue happiness – can you chase down the goals and dreams you have for you and your family – if you don't have the liberty or freedom to do so? Can you ever have true liberty if the government doesn't first protect your most basic, fundamental right to live? The founders made an even bolder statement by saying that these unalienable rights were given to us, not by the government, but by our Creator. No other nation in history was established on such a premise! To this day, woven into the fabric of our nation is the underlying "first principle" that Americans recognize life as a sacred gift from God, and that we believe protecting the lives and liberty of our people must be the primary responsibility – the first principle – of both our government and ou… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:13:16Z |
