Conservative seniors group hits Baldwin for "wasteful spending" on stimulus, health care
A new ad from conservative seniors group 60 Plus Association criticizes U.S. Senate candidate and Rep. Tammy Baldwin for what it labels as "wasteful spending" in Washington.
The 30-second TV ad features a number of seniors saying that Wisconsin has "been through a great deal in the last few years" and that Washington can learn from the path Wisconsin has taken in the last year and a half.
It then turns the focus toward Baldwin.
"Wisconsin needs to take a good look at Tammy Baldwin," one senior says, as others interject. "Look at her record. Tammy Baldwin voted for the trillion dollar stimulus, 700 billion in Medicare cuts, the health care law that could cost two trillion dollars. Those tax dollars came from my pocket and your pocket."
The ad ends with another senior telling voters to "tell Tammy Baldwin to follow Wisconsin's lead: Stop the wasteful spending."
