Thanks for stiffing us with the bill

February 18, 2011

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement regarding the two-year anniversary of President Barack Obama signing the economic “stimulus” bill. Diaz-Balart comments:

“Today marks the two-year anniversary of President Obama’s so-called ‘stimulus’ that was supposed to immediately create 3.5 million jobs and maintain the unemployment rate below 8 percent. After two years, the American people have yet to see the 3.5 million new jobs they were promised. Instead, they got a record 21 months of unemployment at 9 percent and $1 trillion of added debt.

“This package has been a colossal failure. Americans need, want, and deserve better than a false bill of goods. Thanks for stiffing American families with the bill, Mr. President.”
