We Must Invest in Affordable Housing for Needy Families, Create Jobs Now
February 17, 2009

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO – U.S. Senator Kit Bond today met with city officials, public housing advocates, and local families in Cape Girardeau to highlight the importance of addressing the shortage of affordable housing to help low-income, working families during the current economic crisis. Last week, Bond was successful in passing a provision to jumpstart the building of affordable housing units in Missouri and across the nation. Bond is holding similar events in five other cities across the state this week.

“The shortage in available affordable housing is another blow to families in Missouri and across the nation struggling to find work and put food on the table,” said Bond. “We must jumpstart the building of affordable housing units to help struggling families while creating jobs and putting people back to work.”

February 13, 2009

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Kit Bond today warned hardworking Americans that passage of the Democrats’ trillion-dollar bill will open the floodgates to massive, irresponsible spending of tax dollars that will do little to jumpstart the economy or create jobs.

“Hold on to your wallets folks because with the passage of this trillion-dollar baby the Democrats will be poised to spend as much as $3 trillion in your tax dollars,” said Bond. “Taxpayers will be on the hook for spending that will stimulate the debt, stimulate the growth of government, but will do little to stimulate jobs or the economy.”

Bond, who voted against the Democrats’ trillion-dollar spending bill earlier this week, voted in opposition to the bill again tonight. The trillion-dollar bill, passed earlier today by the House, is expected to pass the Senate tonight on an almost strictly party line vote. The bill will then be sent to the President to be signed into law.

Along with his fellow NOPers, it won't come as a surprise when they slam Obama's Housing bill, fill it with tax cuts, vote against it and then claim credit for it's passage

1. There could not have been a more fitting setting for such antics: birthplace of the Bloated Pig.
Rush would be so proud.



Ah, Kit Bond. The man who got all red faced and hysterical for the cameras when Ashcroft lost an election to a dead man.

This guy just keeps topping himself.

3. This is not even a twofer it's a threefer
! they voted against it.
2 they claim they got what they wanted in it.
3 they claim it wasn't bipartisan.
Man you just can't have it THREE WAYS.
You can forget about bipartisanship for at least 2 years.
It's time to start asking which Republicans want to be re-elected in 2010.
Work on them, expose them in media in their districts.
Senators especially.
