WHERE’S JOHNNY? Isakson’s terrible voting record on bad trade deals hurts Georgia’s economy
September 16, 2016
ATLANTA - Senator Isakson has not spoken out about his poor attendance at numerous committee hearings and has refused to debate across the state, so it’s no surprise that Senator Isakson has also continued to stay silent about his terrible voting record on bad trade deals. Isakson has voted for every bad foreign trade deal since he got to Washington.
Where’s Johnny on bad trade deals?
- Senator Isakson voted for the Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China, costing Georgia 93,000 jobs.
- He has repeatedly voted to protect tax breaks for corporations that send American jobs overseas.
- Throughout his career, Isakson has voted consistently to protect the interests of Wall Street bankers and the financial industry, often putting the health of the American economy at risk and hurting middle class workers.
- Isakson voted for legislation that Wall Street spent $300 million lobbying for, including the Enron Loophole, TARP, and repeal of Glass-Steagall that helped create the financial crisis and crash the economy.
