One Year Stimulus Anniversary: 365 Days And $862 Billion Later, No Results For The American People

Statement

Congressman Bill Shuster released the following statement on the one year
anniversary of the enactment of the stimulus:

"It's been a year since the Democrats in Congress passed President Obama's stimulus into law
and we continue to see double digit unemployment, housing foreclosures, and a sluggish
economy.

The President and congressional Democrats squandered an opportunity for a targeted stimulus
program that should have been focused around a mixture of tax cuts and infrastructure
investments. What the American people got instead was a near trillion dollar grab-bag of big
government social spending and pet projects from the political left.

Taxpayers at home and across the nation are tired of the excuses coming from Washington and the massive debt that has been laid at their feet by the stimulus. Unspent stimulus funds should be returned to the Treasury to pay down the debt."
