Appearing on ABC's This Week, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called out members of his own party for their hypocrisy on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In hard hit California, the Republican Governor noted that the fiscal stimulus was responsible for saving or creating 150,000 jobs. Of the $330 billion available under ARRA nationwide for state aid, California received approximately $31 billion that helped offset California's budget deficit keeping vital public services functioning.

As of year-end 2009, California’s unemployment rate was 12.4 percent with the number of unemployed in California hitting 2,254,000.

Kudos to the Democrats on the House Labor and Education Committee who have released the above 30 second spot to mark the one year anniversary of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
