WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 /Standard Newswire/ -- House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) responded this morning to a Department of Labor report showing that the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 9.6 percent despite Obama Administration projections that the 'stimulus' would keep unemployment below eight percent. Joblessness has now topped 9.5 percent for 15 straight months, the longest such stretch since the Great Depression. Boehner issued the following statement:
"Any job growth is a positive sign, but stagnant and stubbornly high unemployment makes clear why permanently stopping all the looming tax hikes should top Washington's to-do list this month.
"Stopping these tax hikes -- and cutting spending to pre-'stimulus,' pre-bailout levels -- would help eliminate the uncertainty gripping small businesses and show Americans asking 'where are the jobs?' that Washington is finally on the job. These are proposals Republicans laid out in the Pledge to America, and I'm hopeful that the president will be willing to work with us on these priorities when he returns from his trip to Asia. Our economy will ultimately recover, but it will do so because of hard work and entrepreneurship, not more of the same Washington spending sprees and job-killing policies the American people have repudiated so loudly and clearly."
