U.S. House Education and the Workforce Chairman John Kline (R-MN) issued the following statement on the release of the latest unemployment data:
"Despite threats of a double-dip recession and warnings from more than 150 economists, the Obama Administration and Democrat leaders continue to reject Republican efforts to make responsible spending cuts.
"Decades of reckless spending and debt have put our nation in this increasingly fragile state. We simply cannot allow out-of-touch Washington policymakers to push a foolish agenda of higher taxes, more borrowing, and deeper deficits.
"The American people demand a new direction. Thats why my colleagues and I have introduced the Plan for America's Job Creators, which will put an end to overwhelming regulatory burdens, simplify the tax code, improve trade opportunities, and support burgeoning entrepreneurs. We are determined to put an end to the old ways of thinking about Washington spending and provide fresh opportunities for families and business owners. I strongly urge the president and his Senate counterparts to join us in this effort."
