Like Nancy Pelosi, Berkley Stands Up For Bigger Government & More Spending, Rather Than Standing Behind Nevada Business Owners Continuing a long pattern of saying one thing in Nevada, and then voting the opposite way in Washington, U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley today voted against efforts to spur job creation by giving small businesses a 20 percent tax cut, despite the fact that families in Nevada continue to struggle with soaring gas prices and a lagging economy. Remarkably, Berkley’s opposition to small business tax relief comes exactly one week to the day that she stood before the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and claimed to be a champion for Nevada small businesses. “Just like Nancy Pelosi, Shelley Berkley says one thing when she’s in Nevada, and then turns around and votes the opposite way in Washington,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today. “Congresswoman Berkley’s vote today makes…
With Eye On Re-Election Instead Of Skyrocketing Government Debt, Sherrod Brown & Senate Democrats Refuse To Pass A Budget For Third Year In A Row
Brown & Fellow Democrats Once Again Shutdown Budget Process As a candidate for the Senate in 2006, liberal Democrat Sherrod Brown said that he supported a Balance Budget Amendment in order to restore fiscal sanity to our government. Yet, in the 6 years Brown has been in the Senate, the federal debt has skyrocketed by trillions and trillions of dollars. In fact, since President Obama took office Brown has unabashedly supported every one of his big government spending programs, the government’s credit card bill has increased an additional $5 trillion — from $10.6 trillion to $15.6 trillion. What’s worse – Senate Democrats, including Brown – have refused to pass a budget for over three years – 1,085 days to be exact. And earlier today, Brown’s fellow Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee cancelled a planned markup of a federal budget for 2013, and announced that no action would be taken…
With Eye On Re-Election Instead Of Skyrocketing Government Debt, Bill Nelson & Senate Democrats Refuse To Pass A Budget For Third Year In A Row
Nelson & Fellow Senate Budget Committee Democrats Once Again Shut Down Budget Process As a candidate for the Senate in 2000 and again for re-election in 2006, Bill Nelson repeatedly invoked the mantra of fiscal responsibility and stressed the importance of a “pay-as-you-go” system. Yet, in the 12 years Nelson has been in the Senate, the federal debt has skyrocketed by trillions and trillions of dollars. In fact, since President Obama took office Nelson has unabashedly supported every one of his big government spending programs, the government’s credit card bill has increased an additional $5 trillion — from $10.6 trillion to $15.6 trillion. What’s worse – Senate Democrats, including Nelson who sits on the Senate Budget Committee, have refused to pass a budget for over three years – 1,085 days to be exact.

With Eye On Re-Election Instead Of Skyrocketing Government Debt, Claire McCaskill & Senate Democrats Refuse To Pass A Budget For Third Year In A Row
McCaskill & Fellow Senate Democrats Once Again Shut Down Budget Process As a candidate for the Senate in 2006, Claire McCaskill repeatedly invoked the mantra of fiscal responsibility and stressed the importance of a “pay-as-you-go” system. Yet, in the less than six years McCaskill has been in the Senate, the federal debt has skyrocketed by trillions and trillions of dollars. In fact, in the less than four years since President Obama took office and McCaskill has unabashedly supported every one of his big government spending programs, the government’s credit card bill has increased an additional $5 trillion — from $10.6 trillion to $15.6 trillion. What’s worse – Senate Democrats have refused to pass a budget for over three years – 1,085 days to be exact.

As a candidate for the Senate in 2000 and again for re-election in 2006, Debbie Stabenow repeatedly invoked the mantra of fiscal responsibility and stressed the importance of a “pay-as-you-go” system. Yet, in the 12 years Stabenow has been in the Senate, the federal debt has skyrocketed by trillions and trillions of dollars. In fact, in the less than four years since President Obama took office and Stabenow has unabashedly supported every one of his big government spending programs, the government’s credit card bill has increased an additional $5 trillion — from $10.6 trillion to $15.6 trillion. What’s worse – Senate Democrats, including Stabenow who sits on the Senate Budget Committee, have refused to pass a budget for over three years – 1,085 days to be exact.

As President Obama Heads To Ohio, Businesses In Lorain County Are Still Hurting From Senator Brown’s Healthcare Law
ObamaCare’s Medical Device Tax Is Preventing Invacare From Hiring New Workers While liberal Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown stays back in Washington, today President Barack Obama is bringing his campaign to Elyria, Ohio which is remarkable given that his job-killing policies have prevented businesses in this community from hiring new workers. President Obama and Senator Brown’s burdensome healthcare bill contained a harmful medical device tax that is expected to kill 45,000 jobs in the industry. This tax specifically hits Elyria’s Invacare, who has said that ObamaCare is preventing them from hiring new workers. As the Washington Post reports: “[I]n the short run, some of his policies could cost existing jobs, especially health-care reform, if it is enacted. One of the few large businesses that has prospered in Lorain County in recent years has been Invacare, a maker of home medical devices, such as walkers and wheelchairs… The company has 1,300 employees…
Webb’s Straight Talk To Virginians Continues To Stand In Stark Contrast To Kaine’s Unabashed Support For Obama
Kaine Believes ObamaCare Is A “Great Achievement” For President Obama, While Webb Acknowledges It Cost Him A Lot Of Credibility Once again highlighting a key difference between a legislator who talks straight with Virginians, and a politician like Tim Kaine who marches in lockstep behind President Obama, Senator Jim Webb admitted this morning that the biggest problem politically for the President was his handling of health care reform. As Bloomberg News reports: “The manner in which the health-care-reform issue was put in front of the Congress — the way that the issue was dealt with by the White House — cost Obama a lot of credibility as a leader,” Webb said. “From that point forward, Obama’s had a difficult time selling himself as a decisive leader.” Webb’s admission today marks a stark contrast with the liberal Democrat who aspires to succeed him in Washington. As President Obama’s hand-picked Chairman of…
Berkley Continues Trend of Insulting Rural Nevadans
Congresswoman Says She Was Nervous To Meet Them Last week, embattled U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley – who refuses to discuss her ongoing ethics investigation – left her Las Vegas Congressional District to meet with voters in Elko and during this meeting she told them that she was “nervous” to meet with them, but quickly realized that there was nothing to be afraid of. Berkley also thanked the Clark County Democrat Party – not the Elko County Democrat Party – for hosting her. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO SHELLEY BERKLEY This isn’t the first time Berkley has insulted rural Nevadans because in 2001, she told Roll Call she wouldn’t have time to address any of their needs. ROLL CALL: “I have my hands full down here…I don’t think I have to be traipsing up to Carlin to look at your mines when I have so many needs [in Clark County].” …
On Tax Day, Virginians Reminded That Next Year’s Tax Bill Will Be Far Higher Under The Obama-Kaine Plan
While Tax Day is never a happy time for Virginians, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is reminding voters in the Commonwealth today that under the Obama-Kaine tax plan, American families and small businesses are facing as much as $4.5 trillion in higher taxes over the next 10 years. In fact, just this week Chairman Kaine spoke with WINA in Charlottesville where he criticized the so-called “Buffett Tax” for not raising taxes enough and reiterated his support for allowing the current tax rates to rise dramatically at the end of this year, unless they are renewed. Listen Here — Chairman Kaine: ““I question the priority of doing this right now.” “Under the Obama-Kaine plan, taxes will rise by $500 billion over 10 years on the low end and as much as $4.5 trillion over 10 years on the high end, and all while Virginia businesses struggle to get back on their…
With Over 200,000 Missourians Unemployed & Gas Prices On The Rise, Claire McCaskill Pursues Political Gimmicks Instead
Votes For “Sham” Buffett Tax Instead Of Passing A Budget As millions of Missourians finish their taxes, liberal Democrat Claire McCaskill is working to ensure that next year some of them can pay even more money to the federal government, while refusing to pass a budget for the third year in a row. McCaskill voted this evening in support of the Buffett Tax increase which according to the Wall Street Journal does virtually nothing to the national deficit, and does nothing to create a single job or lower gas prices. Additionally, newspapers, economists and political commentators around the country have derided this vote as “total gimmickry,” a “ruse,” “a publicity stunt,” “a hoax,” and “a sham.” What’s more – it comes just one day after Senate Democrats, for the third year in a row, ignored the legal deadline of April 15th, established under the Budget Control Act of 1974, to…
