JONES STATEMENT ON "STIMULUS" LEGISLATION...

“It’s fitting that this bloated bill was passed on Friday the 13th, because this massive government spending will result in scary consequences for our children and grandchildren.  Problems that have been caused by too much spending and too much debt simply can’t be solved by more government spending and more federal debt.  While there is no doubt that our nation’s economy is suffering a severe downturn, this so-called economic ‘stimulus’ bill is a borrow-and-spend plan with no guaranteed benefits for our economy.  I was hopeful that Congress could consider an alternative package that would focus on job creation and cost the taxpayers less.  Today’s passage of the largest spending bill in history is not the proper relief for our nation’s ailing economy.”
