Once Again, Loyally Stands Behind Obama, Instead Of Standing Up For Missouri WASHINGTON — In a series of votes that once again defined her Senate career as a reliable rubber-stamp for President Obama, Senator Claire McCaskill last night voted to impose a permanent new tax on Missouri business owners to pay for another temporary stimulus bill, while also blocking a Republican effort to ensure captured terrorists are not offered the same rights as common criminals. And she did this all within a one-hour period of time. “Claire McCaskill preaches fiscal responsibility in Missouri, but she votes like a typical tax-and-spend, big government liberal when she’s back in Washington,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond said today. “This vote defined a clear difference in next year’s Senate race – Claire McCaskill believes it’s the federal government that creates jobs with higher taxes and more spending, while Republicans believe it’s…
What Jobs Is Berkley Talking About, Exactly?
Says “We Need To Be Focused On Creating Jobs In Nevada,” But Won’t Say Whether She Agrees With Reid That “Private Sector Jobs Have Been Doing Just Fine” WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, liberal Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s liberal mentor, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, took to the Senate floor and declared, “[i]t’s very clear that private sector jobs have been doing just fine.” Since then, Republicans and Democrats alike have weighed in on Reid’s comments – including former top Obama economic advisor Austan Goolsbee, who said he disagrees. Yet his liberal protégé Berkley has strangely remained silent. Today, in reaction to the fact that Nevada’s unemployment rate remained at a worst-in-the-nation 13.4 percent in September, Berkley declared that “we need to be focused on creating jobs in Nevada, not in China.” But again, Berkley failed to elaborate as to whether she agrees with Harry Reid that these jobs should consist solely…
Tester Flip-Flops, Sides With Obama & Reid To Move Ahead With Obama Stimulus
Just Days Ago Said “We Shouldn’t Be Sending Billions Of Dollars In Bailout Aid To States,” But Voted Last Night To Do Just That WASHINGTON — Despite declaring just ten days ago that “we shouldn’t be sending billions of dollars in bailout aid to states,” Democrat U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) flip-flopped last night, voting instead with Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid and his fellow Senate liberals to send tens of billions of dollars to state governments in what Tester himself has dubbed a “bailout,” while raising taxes on families and small-business owners. As Capitol Hill newspaper The Hill reports: The first measure, a piece of President Obama’s larger jobs package, failed by a tally of 50 to 50 after several Democrats joined with Republicans to the Senate from moving to the measure… [Nebraska Sen. Ben] Nelson and Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) were the two Democrats to vote against the president’s…
So Who Is Right, Congresswoman Berkley?
Obama’s Former Top Economic Advisor Dispute Reid’s View That The Private Sector Is Doing Just Fine Yesterday, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s liberal mentor, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) – whose home state has an unemployment rate of 13.4 percent and nearly 170,000 unemployed Nevadans – went to the Senate floor and said, “It’s very clear that private sector jobs have been doing just fine.” But earlier today, Austan Goolsbee, a former top economic advisor to President Barack Obama took the Majority Leader to task for that comment, and said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that he disagreed with Harry Reid’s assessment. Click On The Screenshot To Hear Austan Goolsbee … Joe Scarborough: “So you would disagree with Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, who was quoted as saying ‘the private sector is doing fine we need to focus on growth in the public sector?’” Austan Goolsbee: ‘I guess I would disagree…’…
Sherrod Brown Voted To Protect The EPA’s Burdensome Regulations Which Could Kill Over 53,000 Ohio Jobs
Ohio Manufacturers Association Reports Regulations Will Increase Energy Costs & Kill Jobs Recently, the National Economic Research Associates released a study that found unelected bureaucrats at the EPA are creating burdensome emissions regulations that could kill over 53,000 jobs in Ohio and increase electricity rates by 13 percent. This is devastating news for families in Ohio and it’s worth noting that liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown had an opportunity to rein in these job-killing regulations, but decided to vote against an amendment that would have stopped the EPA from implementing their job-killing regulations. Earlier today, an editorial from the Ohio Manufacturers Association appeared in the Columbus Dispatch outlining the effects of these burdensome regulations from the EPA. Unfortunately, the U.S. Environmental Agency is in the process of implementing a number of costly emission-control regulations that threaten to upset that delicate balance — putting jobs at risk and driving up the…
Do Elizabeth Warren, Alan Khazei and Tom Conroy Agree With Harry Reid?
