WASHINGTON D.C. – Rep. Andy Harris released the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released their April unemployment report:
“Today’s weak job numbers show that the President’s policies of taxing job creators and encouraging higher gasoline prices for all consumers simply don’t work. The labor force participation rate is at its lowest point in 30 years. If all of those individuals who have been pushed out of the labor force by these policies were seeking work today we would have a real unemployment rate of 11 percent. Hard-working Americans deserve better than a historically high sustained unemployment rate and policies that are only making the situation worse. It’s time for the President to work with the House Republicans, who have already passed and sent several bills to the Senate, for positive job growth and prosperity for all Americans.”

Same old BS talking points. Exactly how many jobs dod the "job crators" create in the US when the GOP had control and was handing out corporate welfare checks in the billions? Sorry Andy, but tax cuts that primarily benefit the top 1% don't create jobs, instead they create deficits. Raise all the income tax rates to what they were when Clinton was President, you know -- when we were actually creating jobs and blanacing the budget.
