Job-Killing Regs Remind Voters Of Casey’s Rubberstamp Support For Obama WASHINGTON — As liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and President Barack Obama ditch urgent bipartisan budget talks and jet off to raise campaign cash together, the Obama Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) burdensome new regulations are killing jobs and raising energy costs for Pennsylvania families – reminding voters once again that Casey puts his loyalty to President Obama over the best interests of his state. According to National Economic Research Associates, the Obama EPA’s onerous new regulations will hurt Pennsylvania’s crucial coal industry, increase electricity costs by at least 12 percent in 2016 and kill more than 1.4 million jobs nationwide. “Instead of fighting back against the Obama Administration’s job-killing regulations, Bob Casey is busy jetting around raising campaign cash with President Obama,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Chris Bond.  “It’s clear that the only job Senator Casey…

Goes MIA After Failing To Pass Budget For 800 Days WASHINGTON — As U.S. Senate Republicans unite behind a common-sense Balanced Budget Amendment and call for urgent bipartisan negotiations to finally bring Washington’s spending and debt under control, liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) chose instead to jet to a ritzy partisan fundraiser with President Barack Obama, joining in Obama’s refusal to engage in bipartisan budget talks as he echoes his Washington party bosses’ calls for new job-killing tax hikes and yet another round of wasteful “stimulus” spending. As the Post-Gazette’s Daniel Malloy noted last night on Twitter, “According to pool report, @SenBobCasey flew with Obama to Philly and hung with him at water ice shop before heading to fundraiser.” Meanwhile, President Obama made it clear at last night’s fundraiser that he can always count on his “great friend” Bob Casey to toe the line for his liberal partisan agenda:…

One Year After Declaring “Recovery Summer,” Stimulus Failure Continues To Highlight Casey’s Reckless Spending, Broken Promises WASHINGTON — In case liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) lost track of the date and forgot to remind Pennsylvanians, it’s been a full year since Casey and his fellow Washington Democrats declared that it was “Recovery Summer,” promising that their $787 billion in reckless deficit spending would fix America’s ailing economy. So, to mark the one-year anniversary of Casey and the Democrats’ “Recovery Summer,” it’s worth examining a few of the claims he and his fellow liberal Democrats made regarding their failed $787 billion stimulus debacle.  For instance… The Obama administration claimed their stimulus would “save or create 3.5 million jobs before 2011,” and Casey claimed it would “get our economy out of the ditch by creating jobs.”  But America has lost nearly 1.9 million jobs since he helped ram the stimulus into…

In yet another reminder that President Obama and liberal U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s (D-PA) $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 Casey’s tax-and-spend economic policies in Washington.  While Casey and the Obama Administration promised their $787 billion stimulus would create millions of jobs and keep national unemployment below 8 percent, the United States has actually lost more than 1.8 million jobs since Casey 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, Pennsylvanians are reminded once again that the Obama-Casey agenda of reckless spending has failed to create…
