On the recordMay 25, 2010
When I was sworn into office in January of last year, our economy was on the verge of collapse. Thanks to decisive action in Congress, our economy is turning around. We have created half a million jobs so far in 2010. Our country is on track to create more jobs this year than we created in the entire eight years of the Bush administration. In western Pennsylvania, our strong work ethic is driving our recovery. Companies like Talisman Energy and Kold-Draft Industries are creating new jobs in my district because western Pennsylvania is a good place to do business. Things are improving, but we still have a long way to go. We must continue to invest in American businesses and the American people. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to work together so we can help create jobs, support our businesses, and further our recovery.
