John Koster’s Plan for the Economy Similar to the Seinfeld Show:

It’s About Nothing

Everett, WA – The John Koster campaign released a radio ad that failed to describe what he would do to help Northwest Washington’s ailing economy.

“They used to say the Seinfeld show was a show about nothing. That is an equally apt description of Koster’s plan for the economy,” said Brooke Davis, Larsen’s Campaign Manager.

“Given the chance to stand up for Boeing workers in their fight for the Tanker or for small businesses need for credit so they can grow and create jobs, John Koster offered rhetoric and platitudes: things that don’t pay the mortgage or put food on the table of North Puget Sound families,” Davis said.

“In contrast, Rick Larsen is leading the effort to land the Air Force Tanker at Boeing, and supports a small business lending fund to help small businesses get access to credit,” Brooke Davis said. “Rick Larsen also supported eight small business tax cuts, including help for small businesses to write off investment into capital expenses.”

“In addition, Koster has no credibility on deficits or debt. John Koster supports permanently extending tax cuts for the richest Americans at a cost of $700 Billion dollars in additional debt,” Brooke Davis said. “Rick Larsen has fought to change the way Congress manages the federal budget including supporting the Pay as You Go rule that is now law and suspending pay raises for members of Congress.”
