Congressmen Call for Audit of Stimulus Funds
December 9, 2009
Press Release
Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), Congressman Jack Kingston (GA-01), Congressman Mark Souder (IN-03), and Congressman Jeff Miller (FL-01) today demanded an audit of stimulus funds.  Just this morning, reports showed that Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton’s pollster, received $6 million in stimulus money to preserve three jobs.

With the Government Accountability Office stating that one out of every 10 jobs created by the stimulus are also fake, it’s high time for Congress to act.  The National Commission on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will create a bipartisan commission to investigate the effects of this “stimulus” bill.
