DioGuardi Points to Gillibrand's Failed Policies as NY Unemployment Rises. NEW YORK - Joe DioGuardi, Conservative and Republican Party nominee for the U.S. Senate, today pointed to Gillibrand's failed economic policies, as the U.S. Department of Labor reported that New York's unemployment rate rose to 8.3 percent. "When Gillibrand voted for the 'stimulus' package, she stood alongside her friends in Washington, saying that this massive piece of government spending would cap unemployment at 8 percent," said DioGuardi.

"Nearly two years later, the unemployment rate is still rising and has certainly exceeded the 8 percent mark in New York. Nonetheless, Gillibrand wants voters to believe she can help put the Empire State back to work."

The U.S. Department of Labor found that New York's unemployment rose to 8.3 percent in August 2010. Additionally, the Department announced that more than 5,000 additional New Yorkers began to claim unemployment in August as well, bringing the number to over 800,000.

"One of the most significant problems facing our economy is the fact that people like Gillibrand are hiding the true debt from the American people," continued DioGuardi. "Gillibrand wants you to believe that she supports transparency in Washington, but in reality she is one of the most active participants in the deficit spending and debt-hiding scheme of the Obama administration."
