David Cicilline – Spending Spree

 It was three years ago today that President Obama and Democrats sold taxpayers on an $800 billion big-government bill of goods. David Cicilline’s constituents are still paying for the spending spree he supported – and have nothing to show for it except the “longest stretch of high unemployment since the Great Depression” which is expected to last until 2014.

Neil Sedaka said it best, breaking up is hard to do. You would think David Cicilline and his Democrat leaders would finally admit the stimulus has been an abysmal failure and break up with their unsuccessful policies. But they just won’t let this relationship go. While folks in Rhode Island are struggling to find work and prices for gas, food and rent are rising, Cicilline and Obama want to double down on disastrous policies of taxing, spending and borrowing recklessly. Need evidence? Just look at the President’s new budget packed with stimulus style initiatives and deficit spending.

As you cover this anniversary and how badly the failed stimulus has damaged our economy, please consider the following quote:

NRCC Comment: “Skyrocketing debt and stagnant unemployment have David Cicilline’s constituents begging for a change but he just won’t let go of his love affair with spending taxpayer money. Breaking up may be hard to do, but three years later it’s time Cicilline ended his relationship with Obama’s tax and spend agenda.” – NRCC Spokesman Nat Sillin
