FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 07, 2006
CONTACT: Brendan Daly/Jennifer Crider 202-226-7616 Pelosi Statement on June's Tepid Jobs Report
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to the tepid jobs report that showed only 121,000 new jobs created in June, while real wages have remained stagnant over the last three years. Growth in payroll employment has been anemic under the Bush Administration, averaging only 42,000 per month compared to job growth of 237,000 per month under the Clinton Administration. Below are Pelosi’s statement and a chart showing how Republicans have turned their backs on the middle class:
"President Bush and Congressional Republicans are crowing about the economy even while it continues in the wrong direction for most American families.
"The President just doesn’t get it. Many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and families are struggling to make ends meet – as gas prices and health care costs are doubling, oil prices remain at record level, and real family income has stalled. Republicans continue to drive up America record national debt with tax breaks for their Big Oil cronies, while denying a pay raise for 15 million Americans.
"Democrats have a New Direction for America that brings economic opportunity and security to all Americans – not an economy that work for just the wealthy few and Big Oil cronies."

Okay, Nancy, now put your money where your mouth is and give away your millions of dollars to these "struggling families."
I don't know about you, Nancy, but I'd love to be a "big oil cronie."
It's the start of summer, so both employers looking and people who want to look are down; nothing unusual.
Define: most American families
Those on the dole or unwilling to work, I suspect.
Do you realy think that anyone in their right mind listens to this Traitor/Treason Democrat witch and her vermin Democrat cohorts? She makes sick, this useless excuse for a human being!!!
Ain't THAT the truth!
The only problem I have with you, is that you sugar coat things and don't really speak your mind.
"The President just doesn’t get it. Many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and families are struggling to make ends meet – as gas prices and health care costs are doubling, oil prices remain at record level, and real family income has stalled. Republicans continue to drive up America record national debt with tax breaks..."
just listen to the hypocrisy in the same statement:
"gas prices and health care costs are doubling, oil prices remain at record levels......."
"Republicans.................tax breaks".
So Pelosi is going to lower health care costs and gasloine prices by having the federal government take more taxes from us? Right? NOT
Liberals continue to bet against the US economy, and that is a loosing bet.
Nancy Pelosi is herself a business owner.
I wonder how well she treats her employees.
I'm guessing there's a 0% chance that she allows them to unionise.
Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!
Nancy missed another opportunity to keep her mouth shut.
There translated what Ms. Nitwit actually means!
LMAO, she uses the Clinton recession years to come up with the lowest average she can work up for Bush's job creation figures, ignoring the fact that job growth during the Bush RECOVERY period has average well into the 100,000 jobs created range each month. This witch hasn't had word one to say about the economy for years now, but with one job creation report she calls "tepid," suddenly she's interested in talking economics again. Such dishonesty.
If the b-tch is so concerned about gas prices, why does she keep opposing drilling for more supply in ANWR? Pure dishonesty.
Nancy proves the saying "Better to be silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and confirm it".
Jobs and people are fleeing NYS, Nancy. Three guesses why....
She must give good helmet, because she's butt ugly.
I never thought of myself as a Big Oil Cronie.
I want a badge.
Like I said before her skin is stretched tighter than a snare drum. Her top lip is under enormous tension just trying to keep her mouth shut. If she has one more face lift that top lip is going to snap up and cover her face.
More yadda yadda yadda from the frog-eyed one.
Meanwhile pople are buying ski doo's, $500,000 dollar homes
SUV's going out to dinner more than ever before, even with high gas prices.
"Well,now we know how folks in her district feel...a district populated almost entirely by homosexuals and street bums."
That is so hardcore, man....... I love it!
Ted kennedy puts it best for her. Lie after Lie after Lie after Lie. To them it matters not that our people are murdered or economy suffers. Its all about GW, nothing else matters just as long as they can be in power.
I'd love to hear just one of the conservatives get indignant about them on the TV and tell it like it really is.
After Pelosi became Minority Leader the Economist Magazine did a cover story comparing her district to Hastert's district.They pointed out,among other things,that Hastert's district was noticeably "middle America" and that hers was,as I said,homosexuals and street bums...but they put it in a more genteel,*British* way.
Does she really have one blue eye and one green eye?
That seems really low. Is that 42,000 number accurate? I mean, there was the recession and 9/11 but beyond that, there has been really frickin strong job growth after those two things.
Or is this just a manipulation of statistics?
Listening to a little too much Michael Savage lately? Pelosi represents Marin County which has some of the most expensive residential real estate in the nation. It's where the rich people in San Francisco move when they get tired of the homeless who they have empowered to take over the city.
so if Nancy and her gansters get power.. we will all have lots of money in our bank account????
She makes my blood boil.
How many private sector jobs has Nancy Pelosi ever personally created?
So Pelosi is going to lower health care costs and gasloine prices by having the federal government take more taxes from us? Right? NOT
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I agree that the Democrats have no answers but I don't see how anyone could seriously suggest that we are better off than a couple of years ago. I don't think I know anyone who believes that. If the national average unemployment rate is as low as is claimed then there must be areas where everybody has three jobs because it is certainly nothing like that in my area.
The left in America MUST discount and try to discredit any achievement of the Bush Administration in an attempt to whitewash the legacy of the most corrupt administration in history, the Clinton Administration. To this end, anything positive is negative. Any destructive act is Bush's doing. Any benevolent act is not good enough and no good deed will go unpunished by the likes of the filthy, treasonous, vile and morally bankrupt left in this country.

I know some who spend like drunken sailors who have been six months at sea but it is not because they are making so much money, it is because they are juggling a mountain of debt and adding to it at every opportunity. They owe far more than everything they own is worth, have spent their retirement money before they are old enough to retire and would need to live to be 100 to get out of debt if they started living below their income immediately. Unfortunately this type is not uncommon these days.
The sign behind those clowns says 'NUDE ERECTION' ??????
I think I will email ole Nancy and ask her if they regain power, will we all get to go to Disney Land and have cash thrown at all homeless dunks? Can she also do something about this MILD summer we are having in West Texas. I mean, the temps are going to be 88 today instead of the steaming 100's of years ago.
(it originally said "A New Direction For America")
That indeed is fine work.
Raelian twins separated at birth?
You can't expect to create vast numbers of new jobs when you've got an unemployment rate of less than 5%.
wasn't this her same statement as last month ?
There are always places in the country that do not reflect the aggregate or the average conditions in the country; but the methodologies for the statistics have not changed significantly in a long time.
So, if there is some really big anomaly in the numbers, it has been there for a long time and you'd have to take the position that most of the employment statistics for the last 30 years have been wrong most of the time.
Is there anything in the overall experience of the country to believe that? No.
Not only did the above ground economy generate 121,000 new jobs; But the unemployment numbers which were expected to increase actually declined. Thus there are significantly fewer people looking for work .... and this in June when people leave school and enter the job market.
Where I work, they can't find enough (qualified) people.
If one believes the anti illegal posters here, the underground economy is also doing extremely well.
The real Pelosi situation is that if the economy overheated, she would blame Bush for causing inflation and high interest rates.
For every buyer there is a seller. Bush buys America and believes it has future value. Pelosi sells America in the belief that it will lose value.
Do the buyers and sellers need each other?
