Unemployment Rate Skyrockets Thanks To Jon Tester’s Misplaced Washington Priorities

According to the New York Times, “November’s numbers were far less than the 150,000 jobs forecast. More than 15 million people remain out of work, and 6.3 million of them have been unemployed for six months or longer.” “Today’s unemployment numbers are a troubling reminder that Senator Jon Tester and his party leaders in Washington have misplaced their priorities fighting for a massively unpopular health care plan and a bloated stimulus that failed to create jobs while America’s debt and jobless rate continue to skyrocket,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Press Secretary Amber Marchand. “Instead of working to spur our nation’s economy, Senator Tester toed…

Debbie Stabenow Caught Playing Politics With Unemployment Insurance Benefits

While Michigan families and workers struggle with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, why is their junior U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) playing politics with the issue of extending unemployment insurance benefits? Earlier today, U.S. Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) introduced a bill to extend emergency unemployment insurance benefits without increasing taxes or adding to the national debt.
