Political Quotes

“Today is a very important day in the life of America as we recognize that Republicans are back in Washington to try and grow our economy and bring jobs back to the free enterprise system. Mr. Speaker, for 12 years Republicans worked hard on doubling the size of GDP, and we did that from a GDP of $6.5 trillion to over $14 trillion. Over the last 5\1/2\ years, we have seen our President embark on an agenda that will reduce not just GDP, but jobs and job growth in America. We now stand at a GDP of just over 1 percent. Mr. Speaker, this means that jobs, as we saw this last month when we saw the jobs report that came out, of some 700,000 jobs that have been created in America this year, of that number, about 600,000 are part- time jobs. America cannot make ends meet as workers, as families, as communities if we have a President who stands in the way of the free enterprise system and job growth. Mr. Speaker, I urge House Republicans to continue their work on behalf of the American people for American jobs and to grow our economy. ____________________”
