AIP Airs Ad Blasting Stimulus

Days after Americans United for Change and AFSCME began airing an ad praising the economic stimulus bill, another group has popped up with an ad to knock it down.

The American Issues Project, a group that surfaced during the presidential campaign and that has ties to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is behind the ad. The ad blasts the amount of spending in the measure and says that it won’t have an immediate impact on the economy.

The ad, below, began running on FOX News, CNN, CNN Headline News, CNBC and FOX Business Network on Friday.
