Further Proof That Congresswoman Berkley’s $787 Billion Stimulus Failed To Turn Around Nevada’s Economy When Las Vegas Congresswoman Shelley Berkley and her liberal mentor Harry Reid rubberstamped Barack Obama’s $787 billion stimulus into law, they promised the legislation would ‘create or save’ 34,000 jobs in Nevada. Since the stimulus was signed into law, Nevada’s unemployment rate has risen from 10.4 percent to 12.4 percent. To make matters worse, the Nevada News Bureau has reported that $490,000 of the federal stimulus money was spent on planting trees around Clark County, but this project only created 1.72 jobs. As the Nevada News Bureau reports: “If a $490,000 grant to plant trees in Clark County public places as part of a federal job-creating stimulus project should be measured by the ‘greening’ of Southern Nevada, then the effort might be considered a modest success. … But if job creation to help the country out…
Obama’s Springfield “Jaunt” Reminds Voters Of Kaine’s Calls For Job-Killing Tax Hikes
Doubles Down On Tax-Spend-&-Borrow Policies In Wake Of Costly, Failed Stimulus As USA Today reports that President Barack Obama will take a “short jaunt” to Springfield, Virginia on Tuesday, voters are once again reminded that Obama and his #1 Cheerleader in Washington, Tim Kaine, continue to demand job-killing tax hikes in the wake of their costly, failed economic policies. As DNC Chairman for the past several years, Kaine fully embraced President Obama’s tax-spend-and-borrow agenda, calling Obama’s failed $787 billion stimulus “one of the first flagstones on the road to recovery,” and promising it would “create or save more than 3 million jobs” while his friends in the Obama Administration projected the deficit-spending spree would hold unemployment below 8 percent. Given the facts that, while our national debt has skyrocketed past its $14.3 trillion limit, our country has instead lost 2.4 million jobs since President Obama came into office and is…
Out Of Touch: Kaine And Obama Fiddle While The U.S. Economy Burns…
Continue To Demand Job-Killing Tax Hikes, Attend W.H. Party As Failed Economic Agenda Continues To Hurt Americans As he embraced his role as President Barack Obama’s #1 cheerleader in Washington, former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine touted the Democrats’ $787 billion stimulus as “one of the first flagstones on the road to recovery,” and promised it would “create or save more than 3 million jobs.” The Democrats even projected that their massive spending spree would hold unemployment below 8 percent. But over the nearly 2-and-a-half years since the Democrats rammed their stimulus into law, America’s economy has instead been mired in anemic growth and stagnant high unemployment. In the last 24 hours alone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged by more than 500 points, while this morning’s disappointing jobs numbers from the U.S. Department of Labor reveal that Americans are now in our 30th consecutive month with higher-than-8-percent unemployment – while…
After Rubber-Stamping Obama’s Spending Spree & Opposing Balanced Budget, McCaskill Suddenly Changes Tune
Transparent Posturing Has Zero Credibility After 825+ Days Without Any Budget Over the last several years in Washington, U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) has rubberstamped trillions of dollars of new federal spending – including President Barack Obama’s failed $787 billion stimulus, and ObamaCare, which increases our federal deficits by $260 billion through 2019 – as she helped drive our national debt past its $14.3 trillion limit. Notably, despite campaigning on support for a balanced federal budget, it’s been more than 825 days since McCaskill and her fellow Senate Democrats have passed any budget at all – much less a balanced budget. In fact, McCaskill voted just two weeks ago against even considering a balanced budget amendment in the U.S. Senate. But today McCaskill engaged in yet another desperate attempt to save her political career after rubber-stamping President Obama’s unpopular agenda and being exposed as a tax cheat, as she joined…
New NRSC Web Ad Highlights Tester’s Broken Promises, Failed Economic Agenda
$787 Billion Stimulus Debacle Failed To Create Promised Jobs It’s been nearly two-and-a-half years since U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) and President Barack Obama rammed their $787 billion stimulus into law, promising it would create jobs and projecting 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, Tester praises the stimulus, which he claimed would “really put people back to work.” 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 the jobs he promised while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, Tester is…

But today, national unemployment stands at 9.2 percent, and has remained above 8 percent for 29 consecutive months.

Gov’t Report: Results Of Obama-Kaine Economic Agenda Even Worse Than Initially Claimed
Commerce Dept. Report Shows Anemic Economy In Wake Of Failed Stimulus In yet another reminder of the failed economic policies Tim Kaine helped usher in as President Obama’s DNC Chairman, a new report by the U.S. Department of Commerce shows that the United States’ economy is performing even worse than Democrats in Washington initially claimed. As Investor’s Business Daily notes, “after spending $830 billion on stimulus, $700 billion on TARP, with unknown trillions more to be spent on ObamaCare and welfare, the nation’s not better off.”: Obamanomics: In case you thought the economy was doing better, Friday’s report on gross domestic product likely disabused you of that notion. It shows the last two years of economic policymaking have been an utter failure. New data show that the economy has been expanding far less robustly over the past two and a half years than initially claimed. According to the Commerce Department,…
Tester Joins Obama In Preparing To Put Re-Election Bid Ahead Of Protecting U.S. Economy
Stands Against House Republican Proposal, While Ignoring Debt Limit History In yet another sign that he’s prepared to put the re-election efforts of himself and President Obama ahead of avoiding the federal government defaulting on its debt for the first time in U.S. history, U.S. Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) joined with his liberal party leaders last night in signing a letter announcing his firm opposition to the two-step plan offered by House Speaker John Boehner which will be voted on by the House today. In his letter, Tester joined with Democrat leaders Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer in claiming that an initial six-month extension, as opposed to the two year extension sought by President Obama, would put America at risk. Tester and his fellow Democrats write, “A short-term extension like the one in your bill would put America at risk, along with every family and business in it. Your approach…
