Pelosi: Where Are the Jobs, Mr. President?
August 1, 2003Washington, 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 Bushs 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 todays 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.
Of course no one shoved this ridiculous rant in the demonRAT's faces everyday for the past 27.5 months. Gutless cowards, all.
The unemployment rate when this stupid beyotch opened her trap was for 2003-07 and was at 6.20 and was only the 4th month out of 30 months into his presidency that the rate was at 6 or slightly above. Of course it was no where NEAR the record high, EVER, during his entire presidency. But, we don't like facts to get in the way of the demonRATS, the RINOs and their propaganda. It was always so much better to bash President Bush.
Meanwhile, 27 months into the current regime and the lowest unemployment figure was 8.2%, its first full month in office, and we hear NOTHING!
John Boehner should recite this line for line on the House floor but change Bush to Obama.
I dare for the media to say he plagiarized it.
