Harry Reid: “This article points out, among other things, last month this economy…”

On the recordJanuary 13, 2003

This article points out, among other things, last month this economy lost over 101,000 jobs. I know this because I was on a television program with Tim Russert. He had a chart demonstrating all the Presidents of the United States going back to Truman. Every President created jobs--Nixon, Truman, Eisenhower, all of them except George W. Bush. That chart shows the only President that has not created jobs, George W. Bush, and, in fact, he has lost 2.5 million jobs. Is the Senator aware of that?
