Republican Party of Iowa
Des Moines, IA – Today, Republican Party of Iowa Chairman AJ Spiker released the following statement on the third anniversary of President Obama signing the so-called stimulus bill into law:
“Three years after President Obama signed his massive stimulus spending bill into law, it’s clear that even by the President’s own standards, the so-called ‘stimulus bill’ has been a failure.” said Chairman Spiker.
Just three short years ago, President Obama promised that his $825 billion so-called stimulus bill would save or create 3.5 million jobs and keep unemployment below 8% – but since then, we’ve lost more than one million jobs and unemployment has remained above 8% for a record period. What’s even worse is that while Americans are demanding a more responsible, efficient government, President Obama’s 2012 budget calls for even more spending and even more taxes.”
“Iowa voters have had enough of President Obama’s failed promises and out-of-control spending. It’s time for new leadership in Washington that can keep spending under control and actually improve our economy, not another four years of economic hardship” Chairman Spiker continued.
