On the recordJanuary 20, 2010
1 year ago today, the President was sworn into office, giving Democrats full control of Congress and the White House. After promising the American people a misnamed stimulus plan to keep unemployment under 8 percent, we see 10 percent unemployment continuing to cripple families. Three hundred and sixty-five days later, the American people still haven't seen this Congress focus on job creation policies to promote small businesses. Instead, the American people have been saddled with more borrowing, more taxes, more spending, and increased deficits. As shown in Massachusetts, the American people support limited government, not failed big government. Seven million Americans have lost jobs since Democrats took Congress, and now Americans want real change. It's time the Democrats get this message and get their priorities straight: Drop this backroom government health care takeover and take up job creation policies. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
