Colorado State Chairman Statement On Anniversary Of Obama’s Stimulus Bill

Greenwood Village, CO – Today, Colorado Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call released the following statement on the third anniversary of President Obama signing the stimulus bill into law:

“Three years after President Obama signed his massive stimulus spending bill into law, it’s clear that even by the President’s own standards, the bill has been a failure.” said Chairman Call.

“Just three short years ago, President Obama promised that his $825 billion stimulus bill would save or create 3.5 million jobs and keep unemployment below 8% - but since then, we’ve lost more than one million jobs and unemployment has remained above 8% for a record period. What’s even worse is that while Americans are demanding a more responsible, efficient government, President Obama’s 2012 budget calls for even more spending and even more taxes.”

“Colorado voters have had enough of President Obama’s failed promises and out of control spending. It’s time for new leadership in Washington that can keep spending under control and actually improve our economy, not another four years of economic hardship” Chairman Call continued.
