Where are the Jobs Mark Schauer Promised?

Press Release

Schauer Promised the $862 Billion Stimulus Would Create 109,000 Michigan Jobs; 70,800 Michigan Jobs Have Been Lost

U.S. Department of Labor data was released Friday showing Michigan has lost 70,800 jobs since the $862 billion stimulus law. Additionally, 7th District counties have lost 9,760 jobs since the stimulus. Mark Schauer, in a February 12, 2009 press release, promised the stimulus law "will create 109,000 much-needed Michigan jobs and at least 7,900 jobs right here in the 7th district."

"Mark Schauer promised that spending $862 billion in borrowed money would create 109,000 Michigan jobs, but over 70,000 jobs have been lost. Michigan families cannot afford Mark Schauer's big government agenda that has added trillions to our national debt and destroyed jobs. Where are the jobs Mark Schauer promised?" said Tim Walberg.

"In contrast to Mark Schauer, I will work to restrain government spending and reduce the tax burden across the board to encourage job creation and improve our economy. We need to reverse the course in Washington D.C. and start rewarding hard work, investment, entrepreneurship and job creation to help south central Michigan families," concluded Walberg.
