Lobbying Groups’ Climate Statements Versus Their Statements on Democrats’ Climate Bill

What the NAM says about local weather change: “Manufacturers are leaders in everything from combatting climate change to enhancing diversity and inclusion in the workforce,” the group, which lobbies for the manufacturing business, mentioned in a press release in July about its environmental, social, and governance metrics stance.

That’s not all they’ve mentioned, although. In a report launched in January, proper as President Joe Biden was settling into the White House, the group famous that “Manufacturers are committed to acting responsibly in helping to maintain a clean and prosperous environment. We owe this to the people and communities we serve, to our customers across the globe and to the millions of men and women who make things in America.”

Amen.

NAM’s response to the price range invoice: The commerce group commissioned an entire research to push the concept the invoice’s taxes on firms will tank financial progress and value America jobs. Because yeah, I’m positive it’s staff who NAM is anxious about.

“There’s no getting past the fact that this tax plan adds up to fewer jobs for American workers,” Aric Newhouse, the group’s senior vice chairman of coverage and authorities relations, mentioned in a press release. “We know from experience that competitive tax rates spur job creation, higher wages and investment in communities.” Uh huh.
