AMERICA NEEDS REAL JOBS, REAL SOLUTIONS, AND REAL RESULTS
______
HON. KENNY MARCHANT
of texas
in the house of representatives
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, last week, we were reminded of the devastating economic consequences that tax hikes and Obamacare are having on our economy.
Only 88,000 jobs were added last month, according to the Department of Labor, and nearly half a million people left the job market. The percentage of Americans in the labor force is now at its lowest level since the Carter era.
For every job gained last month, more than five people stopped looking for work altogether.
And now the President submits a budget proposal that completely ignores this economic reality. This proposal hikes taxes and does nothing to balance our budget.
This is unacceptable. America needs real jobs, real solutions, and real results.
