In order to bring you this unemployment update, we interrupt our effort to get Congressman Russ Carnahan to come to his district to explain the soon to be voted on health care scheme rather than spending taxpayer money on a slick brochure legislation.
When Congressman Carnahan voted in favor of the stimulus bill he voted to saddle each family in our district with at least an additional $10,000 in debt. The promise was that the additional spending would keep unemployment from reaching 9%, and that people would return to work sooner than if we did not take on the additional debt.
What Congressman Carnahan delivered with his flawed scheme was peak unemployment of 10.2%. We are now in our second month of 10% unemployment.
So, to review – Congressman Carnahan saddled you and me with another $10,000 in debt and bought a worse jobs situation than if he had not done anything at all. Carnahan, Pelosi and Reid got a nice fat slush fund for their political supporters, but for us, nothigng close to what was promised. If congress were a Missouri business, the attorney general would be investigating them for fraud.
Remember this on election day.
We now return you to our regularly scheduled attempt to get Congressman Carnahan to have a health care town hall.
