It’s not enough that Shelley Berkley is under investigation for violating Ethics Rules — she has to mislead voters about that investigation. Nevadans deserve to know why Berkley is trying to mislead them and which statement is actually true. On September 1st of this year, Berkley told a reporter that her office “did contact the ethics committee” and just seven days later to a different reporter she denies having made that statement. Watch Berkley change her statement below.
Republicans Release New Video Highlighting Berkley’s Reckless Spending Agenda WASHINGTON — When Shelley Berkley first came to Washington in January 1999, the federal debt stood at $5.6 trillion. Yet, 12 years later, and particularly over the last three years, as Shelley Berkley has rubber-stamped every major spending initiative proposed by President Obama, the federal debt has now hit the once-unfathomable mark of $15 trillion – a 168 percent increase and more than $48,000 for every American man, woman and child. To mark the United States Treasury reaching the $15 trillion debt mark today and to highlight the massive spending by Congresswoman Berkley and President Obama that has led to this point, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released a new web video – “$15,000,000,000,000…Siriously” “As she prepares to face Nevada voters next year, Shelley Berkley will have to explain why she’s rubberstamped President Obama’s reckless spending agenda, including his failed…
Berkley Is The Only Candidate Who Has Voted To Slash Medicare By $500 Billion WASHINGTON — Yesterday, Big Labor released a misleading attack ad that grossly distorted Dean Heller’s record, because they want to distract Nevadans from the reality that Congresswoman Shelley Berkley – at the request of Nancy Pelosi – is the only candidate in the U.S. Senate race who has voted to ram $500 billion worth of Medicare cuts into law. It’s clear that even Berkley’s big labor allies in Washington are worried about her record and are prepared to say or do anything to distract attention from it. As both the Washington Post and the New York Times reported on the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office’s findings – the Democrats’ government-run healthcare bill that Berkley voted into law last year slashed $500 billion from seniors who depend on Medicare. · WASHINGTON POST: The Health Care Bill Cut Medicare…
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…
One Year After Declaring “Recovery Summer,” Stimulus Failure Continues To Highlight Berkley’s Reckless Spending, Broken Promises WASHINGTON – It’s been a full year since President Obama and Shelley Berkley (D-Las Vegas) declared that it was a “Recovery Summer,” promising that their $787 billion in reckless deficit spending would fix Nevada’s ailing economy. So, to mark the one-year anniversary of Berkley and the Democrats’ “Recovery Summer,” it’s worth examining a few of the claims Shelley Berkley and her bosses in the Obama Administration made for their failed economic policies. For instance… · Berkley claimed her stimulus would “create or save more than 34,000 jobs.” But Nevada has lost over 56,000 jobs since the stimulus was rammed into law. As President Obama admitted this week, “[s]hovel-ready was not as … uh .. shovel-ready as we expected.” · Berkley’s stimulus also gave money to tax cheats and used to “create” jobs in fictitious…
In yet another reminder that President Obama and liberal U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s (D-NV) $787 billion stimulus failed to create jobs while driving our national debt past $14.3 trillion, the U.S. Department of Labor reports today that national unemployment has risen again to 9.1 percent. Today’s rise in unemployment is just the latest development to highlight the failure of Obama and Berkley’s tax-and-spend economic policies in Washington. While Berkley and the Obama Administration promised their $787 billion stimulus would create “millions of new jobs” and keep national unemployment below 8 percent, the United States has actually lost more than 1.8 million jobs since Berkley helped her Washington party bosses ram it into law – and national unemployment has remained above 8 percent now for 28 consecutive months. “As the unemployment rate rises to 9.1 percent, Nevadans are reminded once again that the Obama-Reid-Georgiou-Berkley agenda of reckless spending has failed to…
