Boehner: Employers and Workers 'Stuck in the Muck' of Dems' Job-Killing Policies

Contact: Michael Steel, Antonia Ferrier, Kevin Smith, 202-225-4000

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 /Standard Newswire/ -- House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement after the Department of Labor reported that the U.S. economy lost 85,000 jobs in the month of December while the unemployment rate remained at 10 percent:

    "Today's disappointing report paints a picture of an economy in which employers and workers are stuck in the muck of higher taxes, job-killing policies and wasteful Washington spending.  Republicans have repeatedly presented President Obama with better solutions to help small businesses create jobs, only to be rebuffed in favor of more of the same 'stimulus' programs that just grow government and pile debt on our kids and grandkids. 
     
    "A jobless recovery is a far cry from what the American people were promised last winter when Washington Democrats jammed through a trillion-dollar 'stimulus' that they said would create jobs 'immediately.'  Instead, roughly three million Americans have lost their jobs since then, and joblessness remains in the double-digits.
     
    "Instead of wildly pivoting from one issue to the next, the Obama Administration needs to listen to American families asking 'where are the jobs?' and employers calling on Washington to scrap these policies that are already costing jobs, starting with a government takeover of health care.  The hard work and entrepreneurship of the American people will ultimately get us out of this mess, but unless Washington gets out of the way, that day will be longer in coming."
