NOTE: This chart, included in a report in PDF format authored by economists Christina Romer – who has since left the White House – and Jared Bernstein, details the Obama Administration’s projections that unemployment would currently be at approximately 7.25 percent following the passage of the ‘stimulus’: | House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today called for immediate enactment of Republicans’ Pledge to America to help end the ongoing economic uncertainty in the wake of a new Department of Labor report showing that the U.S. economy lost 95,000 jobs in the month of September, while unemployment remained at 9.6 percent despite Obama Administration projections that it would never exceed eight percent following the passage of the ‘stimulus’: “This disappointing jobs report demonstrates the pressing need to immediately enact the Pledge to America and help end the uncertainty caused by Washington Democrats’ out-of-control spending spree and job-killing policies. |
“With the Pledge to America, Republicans have offered a clear and positive plan to help end the economic uncertainty, create jobs, and make America more competitive. With the American people asking ‘where are the jobs?,’ Republicans’ blueprint for job creation starts with stopping all of the looming tax hikes and ending Washington’s out-of-control spending spree. Make no mistake, our economy will ultimately recover, but it will do so because of the hard work and entrepreneurship of the American people, not more of the same wasteful Washington spending and job-killing tax hikes and mandates.”
