Jon Adler Kills Plan to End TARP, Return Money to Taxpayers New Jersey Democrat Backs His Party’s Partisan Cash Grab, Paves the Way for Their Next Failed Spending Bill
Washington- Jon Adler voted today against a measure that would permanently end Washington’s unpopular bailout program and return all unused funds to their rightful owners – American taxpayers (House Roll Call 967). With Democrat leaders clamoring to get their hands on unused Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds to pay for their second ‘stimulus’ bill, Adler paved the way for his party’s latest failed spending experiment:
“President Barack Obama and his advisers, looking for ways to boost job creation, are considering using money from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to help the economy as it emerges from a recession, he said. The idea of using money from the $700 billion financial bailout fund was endorsed yesterday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat.”
“‘Investments that we have in jobs should be paid for by TARP funds,’ Pelosi said yesterday.” (Julianna Goldman, “Obama Won’t Seek Second Major Stimulus,” Bloomberg, 12/4/09)
“Handed the opportunity to end Washington’s ongoing bailout mentality and pay down a ballooning national debt, Jon Adler instead endorsed his party’s partisan cash grab in order to fund their next reckless spending binge,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain. “After touting multiple bailouts, failed spending sprees, and a government healthcare takeover, it’s clear that Democrats are on a quest to spend the country into bankruptcy. Adler and his party’s big-spending policies are leading the country down a path toward fiscal insolvency, and his vote today only further highlights the fact that he is unwilling to pass up an opportunity to waste taxpayer money.”
With Democrats plotting their next wasteful ‘stimulus’ bill, New Jersey taxpayers will have Jon Adler to thank for once again flushing their hard-earned money down the drain.
