Political Quotes

“Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that while 14 million Americans are looking for work, there are only 3 million job openings. This means that if every single job was filled outright, there would still be 11 million Americans unemployed and looking for work. Passing the President's jobs bill will help these people and help our overall economy. According to Mark Zandi, Moody's economist, the President's plan would add 2 percentage points to the GDP growth next year, add 1.9 million jobs by next year, and cut the unemployment rate by 1 percentage point next year. Published reports indicate that economists across this country are giving the President's plan a thumb's up. This is a clear chance for all of us to say ``yes''--yes to growth, yes to a middle class tax cut, and, most importantly, yes to jobs and our overall economy. ____________________”
