Washington – Thursday, December 17, 2009 – By a vote of 217 to 212 House Democrats passed a jobs killing jobs bill yesterday. This only serves to emphasize the massive failure of the nearly 800 billion dollar stimulus bill they passed earlier in the year. The Democrats demonstrated their recognition of its failure in that they saw the need to pass yet another pork laden spending bill. Included in the 174 billion dollar jobs bill is 41 billion to extend jobless benefits. How does paying people to stay out of work create jobs? Also included in this bill is 12.3 billion to individuals who lost their health care coverage because of the earlier job killing stimulus bill. Once again one has to ask, how does this create jobs?
“It is not surprising to me that Tom Perriello voted for this disasterous legislation," said Mike McPadden, the leading conservative running to unseat Mr. Perriello next year. “He has been a consistent vote against true job creation in the country, and against the people of the Fifth District. With his vote to support Cap and Trade, the Health Care Bill and now this, Mr. Perriello has proven himself to be a consistent job killer.”
