“A trillion-dollar borrow-and-spend bill will not bring us back to prosperity. This bill creates at least 32 new federal programs at a cost of more than $136 billion. Rather than jumpstarting the economy, this bill saddles our children and grandchildren with more debt and bigger government.

 

“Bloated government, reckless spending, and a staggering increase in debt are not the immediate and focused solutions America needs. What we need is an economic rescue package that helps American families and small businesses by preserving and creating more jobs in America. Americans should be able to keep more of their hard-earned money – to save, spend, or invest. That would be a true stimulus plan, putting America on a much more direct road to economic recovery.”
