After 400 Days, Still No Jobs Plan

Statement

Date: Feb. 10, 2012

After more than 400 days in the majority, House Republicans have failed to put forward a clear plan to create jobs or strengthen the middle class. Instead, they have introduced legislation that would potentially destroy 2 million jobs.

Democrats have a different path. We remain focused on our immediate priorities:

* Extending the payroll tax cut for 160 million Americans,
* Extending unemployment benefits for the millions of Americans who lost their jobs through no fault of their own
* Ensuring tens of millions of seniors can continue to see the doctor of their choice under Medicare.

We are committed to reigniting the American Dream and rebuilding the pillars of America that have made our economy strong: small businesses, entrepreneurs, and an all-inclusive and thriving middle class.
