Roskam: Imagine how much stronger our economy would be if the House-passed jobs bills became law

In comments made this morning about the November jobs report--the nationwide unemployment rate fell to 8.6 percent, Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam (R-IL) remarked, "Remember, the Obama administration promised the American public that if the stimulus bill passed, that right now we would be under six-and-a-half unemployment--instead we are over eight-and-a-half unemployment."



"Over twenty bills are pending--jobs bills that are pending---in the United States Senate," Roskam added. If these bills passed, Roskam said, "Our economy would be 'game on,' we would be roaring forward."
