GOP Weekly Address 8/6/2011

From GOP; “Rep. Michael Grimm (R-NY) discusses the latest jobs report, which was a 9.1 percent unemployment rate for the month of July. It’s outrageous to go 30 consecutive months with national unemployment at or above 8 percent. The president’s ‘stimulus’ failed, and our nation needs jobs now more than ever. House Republicans passed the Budget Control Act to take our nation in the right direction. Now signed into law, it cuts spending more than the debt ceiling is raised, requires a Balanced Budget Amendment vote in the House and the Senate before the end of this year, and does not include any tax hikes. We must stop Washington’s reckless spending to foster an environment for America’s small businesses to grow and create jobs.”
