Pelosi: Where Are the Jobs, Mr. President?
August 1, 2003

Washington, D.C. — House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ announcement that 470,000 people abandoned their job searches in July and that 3.2 million private sector jobs have been lost since President Bush took office:

“The fact is that President Bush’s misguided economic policies have failed to create jobs. Since President Bush took office, the country has lost 3.2 million jobs, the worst record since President Hoover. And today we learned that in July nearly half a million people gave up looking for a job.

“Job losses are taking a real toll on the financial security of American families. While Democrats are fighting for opportunity, jobs, and economic security for working families, Republicans continue to focus on helping those who need help the least.

“According to today’s survey, while the national unemployment rate dropped slightly, it still stands at a near record high. In addition, the unemployment rate for African Americans was still over 11 percent in July, and the unemployment rate for Hispanics was 8.2 percent in July.

“It is time for President Bush and the Republicans to get to work for all Americans, not just the elite few.”

Good question. I think they’re just trying to pretend that they’re doing something to fix the unemployment problem.

They want 10 billion to extend unemployment benefits and with the NASA cut backs they’re going to cause thousands of people to lose their jobs. New home sales announced to be the lowest in something like 50 or 60 years this week. That means a lot of lost construction jobs.

The bill has been pared down to the core. The funds will flow into the distribution center and the salaries of those designated as administrators. No funds will flow outward to benefit anyone of the public.

The wealth is being redistributed to the leftists in adequate amounts they will never need do anything after Obama is over.

They will have the money and that is the reason for it all.

If they die, the money will never be spent

“”what is the reason for the $15 Billion Jobs Bill? “”

Because in all matter of things “zeroman” must appear as though he cares and is going to solve the problem!

The extension of unemployment didn’t get through from what I heard on the radio yesterday. They couldn’t figure out a way to pay for it? But they have all kinds of $$$ to pay for everything else? Cut out the partying at the WH for starters. A drop in the bucket? Drops add up!!!!
