Obama Signs Memorandum On Tax-Delinquent Contractors

0

The morning after the Massachusetts Senate election was won by Republican Scott Brown, who categorized his victory as a call for transparency and good government and a rejection of taxation and spending, a morning when economic populism is being discussed as a motivating factor in the Democrats' loss of their Senate super-majority, President Obama signed a memorandum ordering the Treasury to take steps to block government contracts from going to companies that are severely delinquent on their taxes.
Signing a memorandum like this is not a political act in itself, but it does tie into some of the political threads being discussed around the Massachusetts race. Obama highlighted fiscal responsibility, good government, common sense, and some light tinges of anti-corporate rhetoric in his announcement of the memo.
