Jason Altmire – Spending Spree

 It was three years ago today that Jason Altmire and President Obama sold taxpayers on an $800 billion big-government bill of goods. Altmire’s constituents are still paying for the Democrats’ spending spree – 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 Jason Altmire 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 Pennsylvania are struggling to find work and prices for gas, food and rent are rising, Altmire and Obama want to double down on disastrous policies of taxing, spending and borrowing. 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 Jason Altmire’s constituents begging for a change but he just won’t let go of his love affair with big-government spending. Breaking up may be hard to do, but three years later it’s time Altmire ended his relationship with Obama’s tax and spend agenda.” – NRCC Spokesman Nat Sillin
