RELEASE: Linda McMahon: Washington Got It Dead Wrong; It’s Time To Change Course
“Endless Government Expansion Is Not The Key To Economic Growth And Job Creation. Connecticut’s Small Businesses Are.”
The Labor Department reported this morning that 190,000 workers lost their jobs last month, bringing the unemployment rate to a staggering 10.2 percent. U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon issued the following statement in response:
“Washington got it dead wrong. The short-sighted strategy of jump-starting the economy through massive bailouts and endless spending has failed, and it has left in its wake an unthinkable federal debt that further burdens our economy and threatens the American Dream for future generations.
“Instead of empowering the small businesses that create 70% of jobs, Washington is pouring trillions of dollars into more government and more bureaucracy. Endless government expansion is not the key to economic growth and job creation. Connecticut’s small businesses are.
“It’s time for our leaders in Washington to take an honest assessment, recognize that the economic strategy they are pursuing is failing and change course.”
