WASHINGTON - Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:
“Today, the White House confirmed that the Democrat economic stimulus bill is simply not creating the jobs President Obama promised. Simply put, the White House spin doesn’t square with reality. Since President Obama signed the so-called ‘stimulus’ package, 1.5 million Americans have lost their jobs making the unemployment rate soar to a 26 year high. Families today are struggling to pay their bills, make their mortgage payments, and send their kids to college. Republicans want to work with the president to get our economy back on track, but the president seems intent on promoting and adopting some of the most liberal and reckless government intervention economic policies we have ever seen.”
