Congressman Randy Hultgren sums up his week below:
Last week the the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the economy had only added 80,000 jobs in October. While this is a small step in the right direction, it’s simply not enough and underlines the need for the Senate to take immediate action on the twenty-two jobs bills that the House has sent them.
It’s clear that after thirty-three months of unemployment at or above eight percent, the private sector isn’t looking for more big-government “stimulus” spending. Instead what the private sector needs is what House Republicans are working hard to create – a pro-growth, pro-jobs economic environment, with low taxes, reasonable regulations, and certainty that Washington bureaucrats will not punish them for their hard work.
