Bob Kerrey's Penchant for Big Government

March 01, 2012 JBanking & Financial Services

Bob Kerrey has changed his mind and is returning to Nebraska after all.

Unfortunately, Kerrey’s liberal ideas are coming with him.

Check out AFP-Nebraska’s TV ad reminding folks of Bob Kerrey’s Big Government ideas by clicking here.

Bob Kerrey is wrong on health care.

Kerrey would not repeal Obama’s health care takeover.

Worse, Kerrey wants a ‘single-payer’ system, which is truly government-run health care with government being the only provider of health care services. If you like making trips to the DMV, working with the IRS or dealing with government bureaucrats – then you will love Bob Kerrey’s health care plans.

Bob Kerrey is wrong on spending.

Kerrey was the swing vote on the Balanced Budget Amendment in 1994. After much waffling – sound familiar? – Kerrey voted against the BBA. Had Kerrey acted responsibly and voted for a Balanced Budget Amendment in ’94, our nation would not be facing a $15 Trillion deficit today.

Bob Kerrey is wrong on energy.

Kerrey lobbied for the Cap-and-Trade regime, that President Obama admitted would cause energy rates to ‘necessarily skyrocket’. Higher energy prices when the price at the pump is approaching $4 a gallon in Nebraska would crush our economy.

Watch AFP-Nebraska’s ad and sign our petition reminding Bob Kerrey that Big Government is a loser in Nebraska.
