Senator Barbara Boxer in San Diego Gets the Effectiveness of the Boxer-Supported Economic Stimulus Wrong

Barbara Boxer campaigning for re-election to the United States Senate (I mean touring) still cannot get her facts straight.

Watch the video above.

Doesn’t Senator Boxer seem confused?

The facts she does NOT mention are:

As San Diego TV station KUSI reports, Senator Boxer was at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) yesterday to try to promote the stimulus’ effect on job growth. One big problem though – earlier this year, Boxer said the stimulus was needed to keep unemployment under 8% but “instead the opposite has happened” – California’s unemployment is now over 10% and the state “is still losing jobs.”

What’s more — digging past Boxer’s rhetoric yesterday, KUSI also reports that of the $45 million in stimulus money UCSD is scheduled to receive, only 15% is actually targeted to job growth and to date, only ONE job has been created and credited to the stimulus in San Diego. Probably not the type of local press coverage Boxer was expecting before scheduling this made-for-TV tour at UCSD.

Senator, don’t you know where the money is coming from?

Answer: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) NOT your beloved pork-laden Democrat PORKULUS.

The Obama Administration, including Senators like California’s Barbara Boxer have been defending the $757 billion economic stimulus bill (using borrowed money) even though it has NOT delivered new jobs like they promised. The fact is the economic stimulus has been as much a failure as Senator Boxer in passing legislation. Watch Carly Fiorina bag on her in the video above.

Time for Senator Boxer to go in 2010.
