New "Stimulus' Sounds Like The Old "Stimulus'

Statement

We need to stop the failed experiment if we're going to get our economy back on track and put people back to work'

This week the White House unveiled a new stimulus proposal which would spend $50 billion on the nation's infrastructure. U.S. Senate candidate Dino Rossi made the following statement Tuesday regarding the administration's push for more government stimulus spending:

"The folks in DC are again asking us to trust them, this time saying if we just spend $50 billion more, we'll get the economy back on track. Well, I don't believe them and neither do people here in Washington State. This new $50 billion won't work any better than the trillion plus dollars they've already spent.

"Washingtonians are tired of politicians who can't admit they're wrong, and this latest stimulus proposal is a perfect example. Sen. Murray and her fellow leaders in Washington, D.C., experimented with a stimulus bill which was meant to target "shovel-ready' projects and sold as a job creation measure. Nineteen months and $1.2 trillion later, the only thing we've seen from the last stimulus is rising unemployment and a massive debt. We need to stop the failed experiment if we're going to get our economy back on track and put people back to work. Congress needs to enact proposals which encourage small businesses to grow, not more government spending which creates more debt."
