better off?

September 25, 2012

Tammy Duckworth said on Fox Chicago that she believes Illinois families are better off today than they were four years ago. Really Tammy?

Let’s look at the last four years and what her party has done:

$700 billion gutted from Medicare to fund ObamaCare
$1 trillion spent on a failed stimulus
$16 trillion in debt
43 consecutive months of unemployment above 8 percent

Why would Tammy Duckworth tell struggling Illinois families that they are better off now than they were four years ago? We know Tammy would continue to follow the Obama Bandwagon regardless of how devastating their policies are to Illinois if sent to Congress. But telling Illinois families they are better off today, when they are clearly struggling under this administration’s failed policies, is a slap in the face.

NRCC Statement: “Americans aren’t better off than they were four years ago, but Tammy Duckworth wants to continue the same failed policies that are hurting Illinois’ economy and destroying jobs. If sent to Congress, Tammy Duckworth would only further exacerbate the economic woes we face as a country.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Katie Prill
