Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 2, 2011
Across the country, 14 million Americans, I state, 14 million Americans are looking for work. And yet there are no jobs that have been created, and the Republicans still don't have a jobs plan. In my congressional district in San Bernardino County, the unemployment rate is 17 percent. People throughout our country are hurting. They're hurting. They can't wait any longer for Congress to do the job. We must bring the American Jobs Act for a vote. It will provide an opportunity to put people to work. It contains bipartisan ideas. It puts our teachers, firefighters, first responders, and cops back to work. It provide tax cuts that will help small businesses create new jobs. It puts our veterans and returning troops back to work with a tax credit and provides an immediate boost to our economy. Republicans have supported all of these ideas in the past. It's time they support them again. We must work together and pass the American Jobs Act. ____________________
