Republicans Release New Video Highlighting Brown’s Reckless Spending Agenda WASHINGTON — When Sherrod Brown first came to Washington in January 1993, the federal debt stood at $4.2 trillion.  18 years later, and particularly over the last three years, as Sherrod Brown 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 257 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 Senator Brown 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 a candidate for the Senate in 2006, Sherrod Brown talked about the importance of fiscal responsibility, but since coming to the Senate he and his fellow…

Once Again, Loyally Stands Behind Obama, Instead Of Standing Up For Ohio WASHINGTON — In a series of votes that once again defined his Senate career as a reliable rubber-stamp for President Obama, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) last night voted to impose a permanent new tax on Ohio 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 he did this all within a one-hour period of time. “Sherrod Brown might attempt to cast himself as fiscally responsible in Ohio, but he votes like a typical tax-and-spend, big government liberal when he’s back in Washington,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today. “This vote defined a clear difference in next year’s Senate race – Brown believes it’s the federal government that creates jobs with higher taxes and more…

In yet another reminder that President Obama and liberal U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown’s (D-OH) $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 Brown’s tax-and-spend economic policies in Washington.  While Brown 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 Brown helped his 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, Ohioans are reminded once again that the Obama-Brown agenda of reckless spending has failed to…
