More Debt, Government Expansion Won't Sustain the Economy

Statement

Date: June 4, 2010
Location: Louisville, KY

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Friday regarding weaker-than-expected job creation:

"The two things that are growing fastest in this Democrat economy are the size of the federal government and the crushing burden of the national debt. Americans are doing everything possible to work harder, produce more, and live with less, while Washington is saddling them with even more government and insurmountable debt for their efforts. When America truly begins creating jobs that help our economy grow, it will be despite our government, not because of it. Although Americans appreciate a job of any kind these days, temporary government Census jobs are not the kind of employment that will help kick-start and sustain our economy."
