Breaking News: Sestak Admits Stimulus was “Oversold”

By TOOMEY FOR SENATE

Allentown, PA – In a shocking admission, one of the biggest fans of the Democratic $787 billion stimulus legislation is now admitting that “there is no such things as a shovel-ready job,” and that “we oversold” the stimulus.

That’s what Rep. Joe Sestak told Politico in a story about the stimulus’ failure to revive the persistently sluggish economy.

“We have to give Joe credit for being honest about the stimulus’ futility and the Democrats’ role in selling the American people a $787 billion bag of false hopes,” said Toomey Communications Director Nachama Soloveichik. “But anyone who voted for the legislative monstrosity should have known that lavishing taxpayer dollars on projects like a Miami water park and a New Jersey beach would not create jobs.”

“Now, thanks, in part, to Joe Sestak’s vote, the country is stuck with a huge deficit and growing unemployment. So the question is, why does Joe want to spend even more taxpayer dollars on another ‘stimulus?’ Last winter, Rep. Sestak said he wanted a $1 trillion stimulus (02/22/09) and continues to demand a second one (press release, 11/13/09). Instead, we should stop the unprecedented spending spree in Washington on stimulus packages that don’t stimulate job creation, and bailouts that bail out Wall Street at taxpayers’ expense.”
