NRSC Hits Bill Nelson on Obama's New Federal Spending Plans

With buzz growing that President Barack Obama will call for more than $300 billion in federal spending as part of his jobs speech on Thursday night, the National Republican Senate Committee (NRSC) is looking to link incumbent Democrat U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, who is running for a third term in 2012, to the president and big government.

When it comes to jobs, Floridians have been listening to the same empty promises from Bill Nelson and President Obama for the last several years, said Jahan Wilcox, a spokesman for the NRSC, on Thursday. Its painfully clear that Obama and Nelsons liberal tax-spend-and-borrow economic agenda has failed to create the jobs they promised while driving our national debt to $14.6 trillion, and Nelson will continue to have a very difficult time explaining his failed jobs record to Florida voters.
