NRSC Releases New Ad Reminding Nevadans That They Are Paying For Shelley Berkley’s Reckless Spending Habits
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) today released their latest statewide ad – “Taxes” – which reminds voters that embattled U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s reckless spending habits are hurting Nevadans. During her long career in Washington, Berkley supported the Wall Street bailout, the failed $825 billion stimulus and a $1.76 trillion healthcare law that has only increased the size of government, while doing nothing to boost Nevada’s ailing economy. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO “Between her support for the failed $825 billion stimulus and a $1.76 trillion job-killing healthcare bill, Nevadans are paying dearly for embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley’s reckless spending habits,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Under President Obama and Shelley Berkley’s watch, Nevada’s unemployment rate has gone up and our national debt has skyrocketed. In a time like this, it’s clear Nevadans need a proven leader like Dean Heller who will work to enact pro-jobs policies that…
NRSC TO EMBATTLED REP. BERKLEY: ARE ECONOMIC AND DIPLOMATIC FAILURES JUST “BUMPS IN THE ROAD”???
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is asking embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley today to tell Nevadans whether or not she shares President Obama’s view that the serious problems we have seen on the economy and the recent turmoil in the Middle East are just “bumps in the road.” Speaking on CBS’ 60 Minutes last night about the current problems in the Middle East, President Obama said: “I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road…” (CBS’s “60 Minutes,” 9/23/12) These are the same words he used about our economic problems in a speech last year: “There are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks, Toledo, OH, 6/3/11) “It’s typical of President Obama and the Democrat leadership to dismiss serious problems as being ‘bumps in the road’. While they might just be inconvenient to them, to everyone else,…
NEW NON-PARTISAN REPORT ON OBAMACARE: Shelley Berkley’s Healthcare Bill Cut $4.1 Billion From Nevada Seniors On Medicare
Across The United States ObamaCare Took $716 Billion From Seniors On Medicare It was a little more than two years ago, when embattled U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley rammed her $1.76 trillion healthcare bill through Congress, which cut over $700 billion from Medicare and today a new report details the exact impact this will have on Nevada. According to the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Business, these cuts will take approximately $4.1 billion from seniors in Nevada who depend on Medicare. Over The Next 10 Years, ObamaCare Will Cut $4.1 Billion From Medicare Plans That Nevada Seniors Rely On For Their Health Care Needs. (Robert A. Book and Michael Ramlet, “What Is The Regional Impact Of The Medicare Fee-For-Service And Medicare Advantage Payment Reductions,” University Of Minnesota’s Carlson School Of Management, 9/12) Notably, earlier this week it was reported that those who disobey the individual mandate would be subjected to a fine of approximately…
What is Berkley Hiding?
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.
New Jobs Report Reiterates That The Policies Of President Obama & Congresswoman Berkley Are Not Working
Less Than 100,000 Jobs Created For The Month Of August, Labor Force Participation Rate Falls To Lowest Point In 31 Years Nearly four years ago, President Barack Obama and liberal Congresswoman Shelley Berkley rammed an $825 billion stimulus into law that was supposed to “create or save” 34,000 jobs in Nevada, yet today’s jobs report reiterates that their failed economic policies are not working. As the Wall Street Journal reports: JOB GROWTH SLOWS SHARPLY IN AUGUST: Job growth slowed sharply in August, the Labor Department said Friday. Total nonfarm payrolls increased by 96,000, lower than the 125,000 gain expected by Wall Street economists. Adding to the sense of weakness, job growth in the past two months were revised down by 41,000. The unemployment rate declined to 8.1% in August from 8.3% in the previous month but the drop was due to a smaller labor force. Economists forecast the unemployment rate to hold steady…
New Report Highlights Latest Evidence Of Obama-Berkley’s Failed Economic Policies
Years Of Reckless Spending Now Driving Country Off A Fiscal Cliff WASHINGTON – Last month the top Senate Democrat leaders who are overseeing Shelley Berkley’s campaign for Senate made clear that they were willing to allow the country to go over a “fiscal cliff” unless their demands for massive tax hikes were met. But today, a new report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) made clear that as a result of the Democrats’ reckless tax-and-spend policies, we are already headed in that direction. The report shows that the economy would go into a recession and unemployment would increase if the Democrats’ proposed small business tax hike and massive defense cuts are put into effect. “Today’s report is just the latest evidence that the failed economic policies trumpeted by Shelley Berkley and President Obama are driving our country over a fiscal cliff,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today. “From the reckless spending to…
Embattled Rep. Berkley Desperately Tries To Revive Her Flailing Campaign By Appearing With President Obama
Today Shelley Berkley Will Make Her First 2012 Appearance With The Campaigner-In-Chief WASHINGTON — As every poll continues to find that Dean Heller is maintaining his lead over embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley and with political analysts moving the race from toss-up to lean Republican, today in a last ditch effort to revive her campaign, Shelley Berkley will finally campaign with President Barack Obama. Previously, she has found every reason under the sun not to appear with Mr. Obama, but now she’s trying to vindicate her flailing campaign by showing Nevadans that even President Obama will campaign with a candidate that’s embroiled in an ongoing ethics investigation in the House of Representatives. Notably, President Obama is probably pleased to campaign with Berkley, because she’s the only Senate candidate in the race that joined him in raiding $700 billion from Medicare to pay for his $1.76 trillion job-killing healthcare law. “As she…
Harry Reid’s Guilty Until Proven Innocent Theory Further Damages Embattled Congresswoman Berkley
By Reid’s Logic, Shelley Berkley Used Her Office To Enrich Herself, Until She Proves Otherwise After calling the President of the United States a loser and the Federal Reserve Chairman a political hack, yesterday Harry Reid sunk to a new low when he hurled the baseless claim that Governor Mitt Romney hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years. Reid’s undignified statement is remarkable, given that he’s claimed that his liberal protégé, embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley is innocent, despite the fact that 5 of her Democrat colleagues believe that it’s very possible the Congresswoman used her office to enrich herself. “Once again Democrat Leader Harry Reid has embarrassed himself, the State of Nevada and his Democrat colleagues in the U.S. Senate by hurling a wild accusation that he cannot verify,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Given Reid’s belief that one is guilty until proven innocent, then according to his logic he…
As Shelley Berkley Celebrates The Birth Of Medicare, Nevadans Are Reminded That She Cut $500 Billion From The Program
Berkley’s Job-Killing Healthcare Law Cut Over $500 Billion From Medicare Two years ago liberal U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley – at the urging of Nancy Pelosi – voted for President Obama’s healthcare bill that raided over $500 billion from Medicare in order to expand government and yet today she’s hoping Nevadans will forget that vote. According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), ObamaCare will cut $500 billion from Medicare, which includes $200 billion from Medicare Advantage, $150 billion from hospitals and nursing homes and $40 billion from home healthcare. “It’s remarkable that Shelley Berkley would celebrate the birth of Medicare, given that she recently raided over $500 billion from the program for her job-killing healthcare law,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “This fall, Nevadans will remember that Shelley Berkley is the only candidate that has cut Medicare.” Notably, as Nevada continues to suffer from the highest unemployment rate in the country, the Wall…
