Claims Failed $787 Billion Stimulus Debacle Was “Wildly Successful”

It’s been nearly two-and-a-half years since U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and President Barack Obama 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, McCaskill calls the debacle “wildly successful.”

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 her policies have failed to create promised jobs while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, McCaskill is standing with President Obama in demanding that Missourians foot the bill for her Washington spending spree with job-killing tax hikes.

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

“Welcome To The Recovery”

“Missouri families and job creators can see very clearly that Claire McCaskill’s $787 billion stimulus failed to create the jobs she and President Obama promised while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, but McCaskill still claims her stimulus spending spree was ‘wildly successful,’” said NRSC spokesman Chris Bond.  “As with her troubling ethical lapses, Show-Me-State voters are going to hold McCaskill accountable for her broken promises and failed tax-and-spend agenda.”
