GOP Talkers on the Economy

JULY 8, 2009
  • The American people are hurting and continuing to lose jobs.
  • The Obama Administration and Congressional Democrats promised that their trillion-dollar "stimulus" would create jobs "immediately" and unemployment would not rise above 8%.
  • In June alone, almost half a million jobs were lost, driving unemployment to 9.5% - its highest level in almost three decades.
  • It's clear the Democrats' trillion-dollar stimulus isn't working.
  • Every American has the right to ask: "where are the jobs?"
  • The American people know we cannot tax and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy.
  • Democrats are on the side of more government and more taxes.
  • Small business, not government, is the engine of our economy.  House Republicans are on the side of the American people and our plan focuses on small businesses to help put America back to work.
