Boehner Responds to Vice President's 'Stimulus' Comments
Contact: Michael Steel, Antonia Ferrier, Kevin Smith, 202-225-4000; Office of the House Republican Leader 
 
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 /Standard Newswire/ -- Even though unemployment remains at historic levels not seen in decades, several news outlets reported Vice President Joe Biden saying with regards to the trillion-dollar 'stimulus' plan: "In my wildest dreams, I never thought it would work this well." House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement responding to the Vice President's comments:
 
"The Vice President is wildly out-of-touch if he thinks the trillion-dollar 'stimulus' has worked when the nation's unemployment rate is the highest it's been in decades. 
 
"Earlier this year, Democrats promised the American people that the so-called 'stimulus' would create jobs immediately and keep the unemployment rate from going above eight percent.  Some 2.4 million jobs have been lost since the Democrats' plan was enacted.  Now, Democrats in Washington are claiming it is working even while predicting an extended period of severe joblessness.  They can't have it both ways.
 
"Millions of unemployed American workers are being left behind by this administration's economic policies. A jobless recovery is not what the American people were promised. Republicans have proposed smart policies to help hard-working families and small businesses across America weather this storm and get back to creating jobs."
