Schreyer comes out swingin’, Boehner blasts stimulus
Press release from Manfred Schreyer’s campaign against U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner (read about Boehner’s challengers here):
Schreyer Claims John Boehner Was Paid To Lobby For Morgan Stanley, Pushed For TARP With $112 Billion In Earmarks
EATON, Ohio (February 16, 2010) - “John Boehner accepted $13,300 from Morgan Stanley while he was pushing other Republicans to pass the Troubled Asset Relief Program,” claims Mr. Boehner’s challenger in the Republican Primary race, Eaton businessman Manfred R. Schreyer.
Schreyer points to campaign finance reports that show John Boehner indeed received $13,300 in contributions from employees and PACs directly associated with Morgan Stanley from October through December of 2008, the same time Mr. Boehner was promoting the passage of the HR 1424, also known as the Bank Bailout.
Schreyer says, “While Mr. Boehner has spent the past twenty years refusing to direct any federal funding back to the 8th District of Ohio, he promotes a special interest project on behalf of Morgan Stanley that was loaded down with $112 billion in earmark spending for other districts.”
“Mr. Boehner’s own ideological purity was nowhere to be found when he was telling other Republicans like Mike Pence (R-IN) to finance special interests like rum producers in Puerto Rico,” continues Schreyer, “It’s right there in the bill, read it for yourself. There’s over $100 billion in earmarked projects that had nothing to do with the bank bailout. How can John Boehner claim he’s against earmarks and then tell other Republicans to support these special interests? He’s out of touch with the needs of his district, and a hypocrite that doesn’t want to help the people in Southwestern Ohio. ”
Schreyer believes that John Boehner has abandoned the interests of the people in the 8th District, and is running against him on the platform of returning strength to the working middle class, better representing the district at the Federal level, and bringing projects and jobs to the area.
“This district needs representation that is in touch with the issues within the district, and right now that issue is job creation in the private sector, restoring the middle class incomes, and building strong local customer bases for small business,” Schreyer says.
For more information about his campaign, Schreyer can be reached through his campaign blog and website at http://www.imwithmanfred.com
To be fair, Boehner’s office also released a statement today, this one on the federal stimulus program that turned 1 today:
Ohio Look At “Where Are The Jobs?” Reveals Democrats’ Broken “Stimulus” Promises
Congressman Boehner today released a straightforward report entitled “Where are the Jobs?: A Look Back at One Year of So-Called ‘Stimulus’” outlining the failure of the Democrats’ trillion-dollar “stimulus” <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlq0afUl0E> to create the jobs they promised while leaving massive deficits in its wake. In a companion piece, Congressman Boehner has also released an equally candid report looking back at one year of “stimulus” in the Buckeye State <http://www.johnboehner.house.gov/UploadedFiles/OhioWhereArethe_Jobs.pdf> .
“Continued double-digit unemployment is not what Ohioans were promised. The White House, with the support of Governor Strickland, pledged that the ‘stimulus’ would create jobs immediately and keep the national unemployment rate from going above 8 percent. Not only has the ‘stimulus’ not produced jobs the Administration promised, but now we continue to discover numerous cases of waste, fraud, and abuse in Ohio and across the country while the deficit is set to hit a record $1.6 trillion,” Boehner said.
Boehner’s report also discusses the common-sense solutions <http://www.gop.gov/solutions/jobs> Republicans have offered all year long to help create jobs and get our economy back on track. This includes a “no-cost jobs plan” Republicans offered to break down the barriers to economic growth, and a plan to boost exports that would benefit Ohio farmers and manufacturers.
Excerpts from the Ohio report are included below:
“Stimulus” Rhetoric vs. Results
- “For the record, Ohio unemployment was at 9.5 percent in February 2009 and rose to 10.9 percent in December 2009, the last month for which federal figures are available. Also, the state lost 107,800 jobs from February- December, 2009, according to federal data.” Dayton Daily News http://www.daytondailynews.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/dayton/ohiopolitics/entries/2010/02/16/stimulus_anniversary_sparks_co.html?cxtype=feedbot , 2/16/2010
The Democrats’ “Stimulus” Math: How to Count Jobs
- “The Obama administration announced Friday that federal stimulus money had created or saved about 7,200 education jobs in Ohio as of Sept. 30. Although a couple of hundred of those jobs were in Columbus City Schools, the district acknowledged yesterday that many of the “saved” jobs definitely wouldn’t have been lost in the first place, and others might not have been lost at all.” - Columbus Dispatch <http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2009/11/stimulusisworkinginohio_—.html> , 11/17/2009
Where are the Jobs? In Government
- “More than 80% of the jobs created or retained with stimulus money are located in Central Ohio. All of the top 20 award recipients are a part of the public sector.” — Ohio Watchdog.org <http://ohio.watchdog.org/2009/11/16/most-stimulus-jobs-created-in-central-ohio-and-public-sector/> , 11/16/2009
Wasteful Spending
- “Gov. Ted Strickland and state lawmakers are likely to face a 2012-13 budget deficit of $4 billion to $9 billion. The money for the rail line won’t help fill the holes in that budget in any way. It won’t help pay for education, social services, Medicaid costs, state parks or any of the many other programs sought by Ohioans year after year. In fact, the $400 million in start-up money covers only about three-fourths of the amount needed to upgrade rail lines and acquire the trains for the 3-C line. After that, just keeping the trains running will cost the state $17 million per year, according to Amtrak.” — Columbus Dispatch <http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/editorials/stories/2010/01/31/TRAINed.ARTART01-31-10G465GE42T.html?type=rss&cat=&sid=101&title=Editorial%3A+Money+for+rail+deepens+federal+debt%2C+won%27t+help+with+Ohio%27s+urgent+needs> , 1/31/2010
Government Getting In The Way of Job Creation
- “For the U.S. overall, an additional 1.7 million jobs could be lost as a direct result of the higher spending in the [“stimulus”] bill. The increased job losses and decreased net business output will reduce tax revenue growth and increase government income support expenditures for all 50 states and the federal government. Due to these feedback effects, [the “stimulus”] will de-stimulate the economy, reduce tax receipts, and increase government expenditures. In Ohio, between 66,400 and 91,200 job losses can be expected to occur.”- The Buckeye Institute <http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/article/1368> , 5/4/2009

Shreyer says, “Mr. Boehner has spent the past twenty years refusing to direct any federal funding back to the 8th District of Ohio…” THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT OF HIM! We don’t need another crooked pork sucker. Clearly, Shreyer thinks that pork (aka: direct(ing) any federal funding back) is part and parcel of the job. We don’t need another one of those. GET LOST, SHREYER!

Who in hell wants pork? Shreyer, you are a fool. We have too many porkers in Congress now. Boehner, next Speaker of the House.

Why can’t Boehner supporters put two sentences together in a single thought? Boehner opposes earmarks for his district AND he supports legislation that has lots of earmarks for others. Isn’t he the Republican leader? Why can’t he lead his party to resist or ban earmarks? All Boehner wants is enough GOP MCs to be Speaker — earmarks helps elect Republican congresspersons (that’s the logic). That’s why he has a double standard. Schreyer (and Coussoule) are right to call him out on it. Oh, and then there is the little Morgan Stanley bank bailout thing? Where is the Tea Party when we need them?

If the Alderson’s are supposed to be fiscal conservatives, why do they keep holding fundraisers for Boehner at their enormous estate ?

Maybe the money from morgan stanley explains why he voted for T.A.R.P in October, 2008 and against the second stimulus in February, 2009. Maybe its not about Republican vs Democrat but simply just about money. One thing is certain…neither bill changed anything in the 8th district. Glad to know old John got something out of it.

Boehner’s PORK goes directly to his Big Insurance, Big Tobacco, Wall Street and Sallie Mae golf buddies. Don’t be fooled, Boehner supports PORK, just not for his constituents. The Morgan Stanley money is just the tip of the ice berg (money)that Mr. Boehner has received to protect his corporate interests out of state at the expense of the middle class in Southwest Ohio. Anyone but Boehner, please!

The “real” John Boehner: Google: Boehner, Foley, Scandal Google: Boehner, Sallie Mae Google: Boehner, Tobacco, Checks If you can read any of what you find and still vote for John Boehner, then the middle class is doomed. Especially here in Southwest Ohio.

Boehner voted yes on the bank bailout and it contained billions in earmarks. If he were truly against earmarks, he would have voted with the 100+ Republicans that said NO!!!!

Yeah John, where ARE all those jobs - the ones that were already gone BEFORE the economic meltdown as a result of your support of free trade agreements with nations that exploit their labor markets??? You’ve done a heck of a job in helping Ohio manufacturers move to China there Boehner. You’re one to talk about jobs… drive through Middletown there chump.

Jean Scmidt, another fine ohio repub, trashed the stimulis pkg and then asked for some of the money to get what she wanted here. After her request was denied, she is now blasting this country with threats of China, send them all back home

“Local Voter” writes like a paid democrat/ACORN operative just following the script and attacking any detractors. Classic textbook smear tactics. They will be as dirty as possible to keep Boehner from becoming Speaker. Are we going to fall for their dirty tactics? NO! “Local Voter” probably lives in Chicago.

Actually, the one who has singled out someone is By A REAL Local Voter. The first poster raises the real, damaging issues to Boehner that hardline failures of GOP sycophants cannot answer to the voters of this district. WHY DID JOHN BOEHNER CAMPAIGN FOR TARP WITH $112 BILLION IN EARMARKS?? Morgan Stanley paid him $13,300 to do it, that’s why.
