Reid And Democrats Don't Care About Private-sector Jobs

Harry Reid (D-NV) on Wednesday indicated Congress needs to worry about government jobs more than private-sector jobs, and that this is why Senate Democrats are pushing a bill aimed at shoring up teachers and first-responders.

"It's very clear that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine; it's the public-sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers, and that's what this legislation is all about," Reid said on the Senate floor.  Reid needs to learn to read the hard facts.  More private sector jobs have been lost than government jobs.

Reid reiterated his emphasis on creating government jobs by saying Democrats are looking to "put hundreds of thousands of people back to work teaching children, have more police patrolling our streets, firefighters fighting our fires, doing the rescue work that they do so well … that's our priority." He said Republicans are calling the bill a "failure" because they are "using a different benchmark for success than we are."

Reid also dismissed efforts by the Republican House to ease environmental regulations as a way to create jobs.  "The Republican response has been cutting back environmental health safeguards, I guess hoping that a sicker, more polluted country is a better place to create jobs, and it's not," Reid said.

The Democrats need the union dues money and union support in an attempt to retain their power.  Reid and the Democrats don't care about private-sector jobs.  Their socialist agenda is failing.  They can't run on their record.
