WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) issued the following statement today regarding the release of the June jobs report:
“We are moving in the right direction with 28 straight months of job creation, but it is clear that the recovery is too slow for millions of unemployed worker, their families, and the businesses needing more consumer demand to spur their growth.
“The Republicans think they can slow walk the economy to the election, but next week when they go through the motions on yet another health care repeal vote that is going nowhere, the American people will see through their smokescreen and know that their agenda is simply one of inaction."
“Democrats have a ‘Make it in America’ plan, and we have introduced three pieces of legislation in the last three weeks with bi-partisan support as part of our ‘No Excuses’ agenda that Republicans could pass immediately.
“The American public deserves to know that each and every day we are doing everything we can do to support and strengthen the economic recovery."
