$787 Billion Stimulus Debacle Failed To Create Promised Jobs

It’s been nearly two-and-a-half years since DNC Chairman Tim Kaine cheered as President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress rammed their $787 billion stimulus into law, promising it would create jobs and projecting that it would hold national unemployment below 8 percent.  But today, national unemployment stands at 9.2 percent, and has remained above 8 percent for 29 consecutive months.  Still, Kaine praises the stimulus for what he called its “laser-like” focus on job creation.

It’s also been more than a year-and-a-half since Americans read headlines like “White House Plans ‘Very Hard Pivot To Jobs’ Next Month.”  But today, with headlines still reading “DEMS PLAN PIVOT TO JOBS,” CNN reports that “jobs recovery slowed for a third month in a row.”  Still, rather than acknowledge that his policies have failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, Kaine is standing with President Obama in demanding that Virginians foot the bill for the Democrats’ Washington spending spree with job-killing tax hikes.

Today, a full year since Kaine’s fellow Washington Democrats declared “Welcome To The Recovery,” the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is launching a new web video highlighting Kaine and the Democrats’ broken promises and failed economic policies.

“Welcome To The Recovery”

“Virginia families and job creators can see very clearly that Tim Kaine and the Washington Democrats’ $787 billion stimulus failed to create the jobs he promised while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, but Kaine still claims this reckless spending spree was successful,” said NRSC spokesman Chris Bond.  “At the ballot box next year, Virginians are going to hold Kaine accountable for his broken promises and failed tax-and-spend Washington agenda.”
