On the recordJuly 8, 2011
This morning's announcement of the unemployment rate proves again the President's economic policies are failing American families. The unemployment rate has increased to a tragic 9.2 percent. The out- of-control borrowing and spending in Washington continues to kill small business job creation. It has been 1 year since the President declared an end to the recession and the beginning of the summer of recovery. The only way to describe the country's job numbers during that time is a failure of leadership. Private employment is now 1.8 million below the level from when the wasteful stimulus passed. Where are the jobs, Mr. President? This administration's policies are crippling our economy and killing job creation. The President's reelection campaign says the unemployment rate does not matter, but American families know better. The House Republicans' ``Cut and Grow'' plan is very simple: First cut spending, then the economy will grow. This is a practical solution to get Americans back to work. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
