The Democrats’ Job-Killing Agenda Must Cease
Washington,
Nov 6 -
Republican Study Committee Chairman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement in response to the October employment data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics this morning.
“From a takeover of health care to a national energy tax to the bureaucratic boondoggle they call a stimulus package, the major items on the Democrats’ agenda share a two common themes,” said Chairman Price. “They hand more control to the federal government and they decrease American prosperity. The monthly unemployment numbers clearly show how tough these times are for Americans trying to make a living. With unemployment now at 10.2 percent, the last thing this country needs is more of the Democrats’ job-killing agenda. 190,000 more Americans lost their jobs last month. Meanwhile, the White House continues to tout patently false data for jobs ‘saved or created’ by their so-called stimulus package. Day after day, we get more news highlighting the fact that their claims are little more than fantasy.
“In the real world, Americans are still hurting and reminded daily that government spending does not create economic growth. Instead we can and should be providing the proper incentives to help spur and energize economic recovery. By putting more money into the pocket of those who earn it, rather than punishing productivity, American prosperity can flourish. It’s high time this Congress stopped pursuing a job-killing agenda and focus on proven ways to revitalize our national entrepreneurial spirit.”
