Senator Roy Blunt: President Breaks Promises on Stimulus

U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today marking the second anniversary of the passage of President Barack Obama’s $816 billion stimulus:

“As we mark the second anniversary of the passage of President Obama's so-called stimulus plan, it's clear the President’s pledges about this taxpayer-funded spending were not pledges that could be kept.

"Instead, our children and grandchildren are now saddled with over $800 billion in new debt thanks to this massive spending bill, which failed to reduce skyrocketing unemployment and failed to focus on much-needed private sector job creation nationwide.

“There must be a better way. Moving forward, we must focus on creating real sustainable jobs, spending less money, and letting the private sector grow."
