PEARCE: WE HAVE SEEN TOO MANY FAILED POLICIES AND FAILED PROMISES
Sep 8, 2011 Issues: Economy and Jobs, Financial Services, Spending Cuts and Debt
Washington, DC (September 8, 2011) Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement regarding the President’s September plan for jobs:
“The President has announced that he has a plan for stimulating the economy and creating jobs,” said Pearce. “Similar policies were put forth in 2009, and the price tag for economic stimulus was $1 trillion and rising unemployment rates. With 9.1 percent unemployment, I do not believe that America can stand another stimulus program. We need common-sense solutions. The House has been working since January to take action, sending numerous bills over to the Senate. No action has been taken on these bills. The rhetoric needs to end, and the Senate and the President need to take action as well. ”
“This administration has claimed that over 13 million jobs would have been created through stimulus, green jobs, healthcare, and extending unemployment benefits, but these policies have instead resulted in the loss of 2.3 million jobs,” Pearce continued. “We have seen too many failed policies and failed promises.”
