Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 8, 2012
The facts don't lie: President Obama's policies have failed the American people and are making the economy worse. Since the President took office, unemployment has been above 8 percent for 36 months, gas prices have doubled, the number of Americans having to rely on food stamps has climbed to an all-time high, while the number of new business startups has dropped to a 17-year low. Our national debt has reached $15 trillion, greater than our entire economy, and just last week, the CBO projected that 2012 will bring us our fourth trillion dollar deficit in a row. Because the President cannot run on his record, he has, regrettably, turned to the politics of envy and division. House Republicans have a plan for America's job creators to help turn this economy around. It's time for the President and Senate Democrats to stop blocking our jobs bills and help us put Americans back to work. ____________________
