Nobody has done more to help Nevada's unemployment than I have

On a day that Nevada’s unemployment rate topped the nation, Sen. Harry Reid said things would be even worse if Democrats had not acted to create or save jobs through economic stimulus.
Reid, D-Nev., defended Democrats in a Senate speech Friday morning, saying 3 million Americans going to work today have Democrats to thank for pushing through the economic recovery bill last year.
“The economy in Nevada is not in good shape. It is getting better but not good,” he said. “We are one of the leading states in the union with unemployment but think how much worse it would be if we have not been able to create these jobs in Nevada with the recovery bill.”
Reid said the stimulus act “has created or saved more than 4,000 jobs in just the past four months alone,” in Nevada. The highway bill that Congress extended earlier this year saved “hundreds and hundreds of jobs” in the state, he said.
“We worked hard to create jobs,” he said, noting the Obama administration was about to recognize the 10,000th road project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The act that was enacted in February 2009 authorized $787 billion for a variety of programs intended to create jobs and promote investment in response to the recession.
Meanwhile, Republicans pounced on the news that Nevada’s unemployment rate increased to 14 percent in May.
Republican National Committee spokesman Jahan Wilcox claimed by that measure the stimulus has failed, and that in his role as the Senate majority leader, “nobody has done more to ensure that Nevada leads the country in unemployment than Harry Reid.”

Reid is a liar. Get rid of him.
[“We are one of the leading states in the union with unemployment but think how much worse it would be if we have not been able to create these jobs in Nevada with the recovery bill.”]
That’s good stuff, right there. He should use that as a campaign ad this fall.
Good luck holding on to that Senate seat, Harry.
And the jackass stood their and agreed with the maoist that corporations had no right to have business conventions in Las Vegas.
O repeated that admonition a second time more recently.
If (when?) the dollar collapses, thugs run wild in the streets, lawlessness prevails, burning embers everywhere... basically anarchy reigns... Reid will say if republicans were in charge, the dollar would have collapsed more, and the smoke would be thicker from the burning embers.
Dear People of Nevada,
I plead that you vote this man out of office.
Most Sincerely,
VRW Conspirator
"When times are tough, you tighten your belts... You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas...."
Three million government bureaucrats,union thugs, school diversity officers, and other assorted parasites do.
This guy still thinks he is believable. FOOLISH I’d say.
“Nobody has done more to help Nevada’s unemployment than I have”
Harry Reid delivers for Harry Reid.
I can’t wait to vote against this son of a bitch and throw him out of office. And his demon spawn who’s running for Governor.
I have GOT to find out what he and the rest of the Dems are smoking and get some!!

Reid has used millions to save job numbering the 10’s. Good on ya Reid your a damn saint.
Oh he helped unemployment all right — helped make it worse.
Reid has a point. I’ve heard that unemployment might have gone as high as 8% if Obama/Pelosi/Reid had not spent $800B of our children’s money on the pork package they labeled “stimulus”.
