From the office of Rep. Peter Roskam (R, IL)…
We’re at a crossroads in America. The Obama economy continues to underperform: 9.1% national unemployment, 14 trillion in debt, and a potential double-dip recession on the horizon. Even with all of America’s assets, endless potential, and the unrelenting American spirit, this Administration has led our country astray with one failed policy after another.
Americans are tired of the Obama Administration’s continual underperformance and seemingly never-met expectations: an $800-billion failed “stimulus” and the promise that summer 2010 would be “recovery summer.” Yet, even in the face of proven failure and a weak economy, the Democrats that run Washington continue to cheerlead for their failed policies.
Just weeks ago, Democrat National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz actually told NBC’s Meet the Press that Democrats have “turned this economy around.”
Talk about out of touch.
For Americans in the 6th district and around the country who are facing financial hardship, struggling to find a job, or just trying to keep their families afloat, they are sick of the failed promises of “recovery summer” and the “stimulus.” People want Washington to quit making things worse.
That’s why House Republicans are offering a better path forward that removes Washington barriers to job creation and encourages growth in the private sector. Click here for a summary of our plan.
Our economy can be robust and grow like never before, but we need leadership. That’s what Republicans are offering.
Sincerely,
Peter
