Altmire Admits "Lots" of Stimulus Did Not Work
Written by Campaign News on February 09, 2010, 12:05 PM
When the big government liberals like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Jason Altmire advocated for the $800 billion stimulus package, we were told unemployment would peak at 8%.  It soared to 10% and remains stubbornly high. Congressman Altmire now admits that lots of the Stimulus has not worked.  This is money that the big government liberals took from our children and grandchildren to pay off political favorites.  It is time that the unspent portion of the stimulus be rescinded.  

Question:  How does a Congressman who votes for two consecutive $1.5 Trillion budget deficits, an $800 billion failed stimulus package and another $150 billion "jobs" stimulus get to claim to be a blue dog fiscal conservative?  

Answer:  When he becomes a professional politician and he thinks the people back home aren't paying attention.  

We are paying attention, and in November, we will let him know.

In the news yesterday the Dems were actually happy to hear that $35k people had lost their jobs. Is this progress? Remove the shackles from the private sector and let us all enjoy prosperity and be less dependent on government! Stop the Dems from taking over a fifth of the nation's economy with their health care takeover!

by drilling for just oil,our country can create more empolyment in steel mills [need of pipe], truckers [to delivery the pipe],people [to drill],all good paying empolyment with benefits. coal, will put people to work building machinery to extract the product. these two items can also be exported. helps our trade balance. it will create[oh my god] wealth. I forgot we need miners.

The most important reason to send Altmire home is that his presence in Congress continues the destructive and thuggish reign of Mrs. Pelosi. Catherine de'Medici had nothing on her!

Founder’s Corner

"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular exceptions."


-James Madison

Remembering Reagan

"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."
