"Here we go again. Another month, another set of facts and figures that are telling the American people what they already know – the so-called Stimulus isn’t working. Where are the jobs??? Companies aren’t hiring at rates anywhere near where this Administration claimed they would be at this time. Businesses and individuals have the same outlook when it comes to this President – what’s he going to do next to make it harder for us to move forward? Sound economies need stability, and this President has provided anything but. He can claim to be “pro-business” all he wants, but with continued talk of Card Check and other pro-unionizing regulations, businesses know they can’t afford to take any risks right now. Congressional Democrats even inserted a provision in the War Supplemental bill essentially forcing state and local fire and police departments to unionize – regardless of whether workers in those departments have expressed any interest.
