Weekly GOP Address with Lamar Alexander

On the day after the release of the latest jobless figures--the nationwide unemployment rate is again above 9 percent, Sen. Lamar Alexander talks about jobs in today's Weekly GOP Address.

It begins this way:

I'm Lamar Alexander, United States Senator from Tennessee. I'd like to talk with you for a few minutes about making it easier and cheaper to create private sector jobs here in America. We can start by helping companies make in the United States what they sell in the United States, but unfortunately recent actions by the Administration are making that hard to accomplish.


Alexander then talks to the National Labor Relations Board sop to union bosses, the ruling that prevents Boeing from building the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in South Carolina, a right-to-work state. Then he explains how while governor of the Volunteer State, he convinced Nissan to build its first plant in Tennessee, a state not then known for its auto plants.
