We Can Do Better
The October report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing unemployment at 7.9% made clear, once again, that President Obama’s agenda of more regulation, higher taxes and bigger government has failed to create jobs. The American people deserve better than four years high unemployment and long-term joblessness.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor released the following statement on the national unemployment report for the month of October:
“The President’s policies are not working. We can do better. We can create opportunity and make life work again. We can expand markets, attract investment and make America competitive again. We can rise above the current challenges, but not with empty promises, rising deficits and trickle-down government. 7.9% must not be the new normal. People leaving the workforce is not a recovery. There is a better path forward.”
