“At a time when American families across the country are struggling to pay their mortgages, put food on the table, and pay their bills, the Majority in Congress, as well as the President, needs to focus on cutting wasteful government spending and job creation."
Congressman Mike Conaway (R-TX-11), made the following statement today after the Department of Labor announced the national unemployment rate reached 10.2 percent during the month of October, the highest rate since April 1983:
“At a time when American families across the country are struggling to pay their mortgages, put food on the table, and pay their bills, the Majority in Congress, as well as the President, needs to focus on cutting wasteful government spending and job creation.
“I urge the Majority to put aside their massive federal government health care takeover scheme, and I stand ready to work in a bipartisan manner to reign in federal spending, get our nation back on track and get hard working Americans back to work.”
