Political Quotes

“President Bush came to Cleveland near my district last week to try to defend his economic policies. This is a President who will be the first President since Herbert Hoover who has seen a net loss of jobs during his term. Ohio has lost 3 million jobs since George Bush raised his right hand on January 20, 2001. He has lost 2,000 jobs a week, 260 jobs every single day that he has been President. His response always to bad economic news is more tax cuts for the most privileged, trickle-down economics, hoping something will trickle down to the middle class and more trade agreements like NAFTA that ship jobs overseas. Tax cuts for the wealthy are not working. Overseas trade agreements like China and PNTR and CAFTA and NAFTA and all the things that he is trying to do, those are not working, either. We need an economic policy that puts working families first. That means job creation. That means those 300,000 Ohioans who have lost jobs can be put back to work.”
