The Senator is aware, is he not, that not only do we have this tax plan that is floating around, that is going to be very harmful short term and disastrous long term, the Senator is aware that the Wall Street Journal, which is also not a piece put out by the Democratic Party, said today, on page 2: "Slump in Job Market is Longest in Decades." And near-term prospects for workers remain grim? Is the Senator aware that is in the Wall Street Journal today?
