Cornyn Statement On The June Jobs Report

Statement

Date: July 2, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Government Budget and Spending

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) today released the following statement regarding the U.S. job numbers and unemployment rate for June:

"For all the billions of taxpayer dollars this Administration has thrown at our economic woes in hopes that problems would solve themselves, today we learned that America's jobs deficit, like the federal budget deficit, continues to grow. The President's tax-and-spend stimulus strategy clearly isn't working--nearly 700,000 Americans became so discouraged last month they left the workforce altogether. Every Washington power grab is creating more uncertainty for investors and job creators, and leaving more families without a paycheck.

"President Obama has proven that Washington cannot create jobs. I urge him and his allies in Congress to abandon their job-killing agenda and work with Republicans to replicate the low-tax, pro-growth policies that have worked in Texas and other states, and which can repair our economy, strengthen our small businesses, and get more Americans back on the job."
