From the office of House Republican Leader John Boehner:
Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Ohio yesterday in the Washington Democrats’ latest attempt to defend their trillion-dollar “stimulus” spending plan that isn’t working. But like the rest of the nation, Ohio knows that the Administration’s promises that unemployment would stay below eight percent and jobs would be created “immediately” by the “stimulus” have fallen completely flat. Nationwide, the unemployment rate has risen to 9.5 percent, and in Ohio, it’s more than 10 percent, leaving families and small businesses in Ohio and across the nation to ask, “Where are the jobs?” That’s a question House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) asked as well after the Vice President’s visit. The Washington Post reports:
“Boehner told reporters that Obama’s policies will ‘destroy jobs rather than create jobs.’”
“‘Our nation’s economy has taken a beating,’ he said. ‘The answer isn’t more taxes, more spending, more mandates, and more borrowing from China, the Middle East, our kids, and grandkids.’”
“In an earlier statement…the House leader said the administration’s effort ‘clearly isn’t working.’ He added, ‘The people of Ohio -- like people all over America -- have a right to know: Where are the jobs?’
