From the Hayes for Congress campaign (2nd District)…
CHICAGO: Republican nominee for Illinois 2ndCongressional District Isaac Hayes released the following statement in response to today’s jobs report showing an increase in the unemployment rate.
The unemployment rate rose to 9.6% in August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The economy also lost 54,000 jobs.
“Today’s jobs report is another sign that the Pelosi congress just doesn’t get it. Nancy Pelosi and Jesse Jackson Jr. have made it clear they want to punish job creators through higher taxes and more burdensome regulation. The collateral damage from their war on job creators is the American people who have repeatedly asked for this Congress to focus on jobs for two years. The American people have a clear choice in November – they can vote for more spending, more taxes and more economic stagnation or they can vote to get the economy growing again.”
