Political Quotes

“since President Clinton took office, his economic policies have produced 6,000 new jobs a day. That is 6,000 new jobs a day, every day, including Saturdays and Sundays. Imagine the sigh of relief in the homes of America where people know they are going to be able to pay the rent, make the house payments, buy food, and meet the needs of their families. More, of course, needs to be done, and that is why I am proud to work under the leadership of Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro in promoting President Clinton's Reemployment Act of 1994, which will help even more workers make job connections. The Reemployment Act presents a comprehensive reemployment proposal that includes early intervention to prevent long-term unemployment through rapid response to mass layoffs, one-stop shopping that consolidates and streamlines access to career counseling information on jobs, training, unemployment insurance claims processing and other services, universal access to reemployment services for all workers seeking new or better jobs, individual reemployment plans worked out with career counselors to help workers find new jobs, and a national labor market information system. Mr. Speaker, the President's election gave us hope, his economic policies gave people confidence, and now his policies will give people jobs. We need again to pass the President's reemployment proposal in order to spread those jobs around.”
