Jobs Up, but the Middle Class Squeeze Continues

John Kerry released the following statement on the new jobs numbers released today:

“Any step forward in the job market is good news for America’s workers, but let’s be clear: we still have a long way to go to get America working again. America is still in the worst job recovery since the Great Depression, with 2.2 million private-sector jobs lost in the Bush presidency, 8.1 million Americans still looking for work, and long-term unemployment at the highest level in twenty years.

“On top of that, George Bush’s economic policies are squeezing middle-class families like never before. Under the Bush administration, the typical American family is making nearly $1,500 less per year. And they’re paying much more for ‘kitchen table costs’ – the items that directly affect a family’s budget. Health care costs have skyrocketed almost 50 percent, college tuition has gone up 35 percent and gas prices are up almost 25 percent. With oil prices about to hit $40 per barrel, families are going to be squeezed even more.

“Instead of ignoring the problem and stubbornly insisting that America is on the right track, I have a plan to create jobs again in America. My plan will create 10 million new jobs and make America stronger by rewarding companies that create jobs here instead of moving jobs overseas, helping companies and families address the skyrocketing costs of health care, and moving America towards energy independence. With strong leadership, we can get America working again and build a stronger America.”

While I think we have a few others in Congress that are patriotic, I GET YOUR MAIN POINT. We are in trouble as a NATION.

Too many IN CONGRESS, actually DESPISE this country. The CBC thinks we are a racist nation, the hispanics on the Dims side think we took THE SOUTHWEST from their home country and the Northern ELITES and LEFT COAST METROS, hate our values, hate the south, the military and want to control every aspect of human thought and action because they KNOW BEST!!

It is very disheartening but we can let the bastards win. Thank GOD for men like Duke Cunningham, as a fellow Vietnam Vet, when he speaks, I listen, and he always makes me PROUD to be an AMERICAN.
