Remember Pelosi and Biden’s Promises on Job Creation

Just a reminder . . .

February 25, 2010: While discussing the health-care bill, Nancy Pelosi declares, “It’s about jobs. In its life [health-care reform] will create 4 million jobs, 400,000 jobs almost immediately.”

April 23, 2010: Joe Biden, at a Pennsylvania fundraiser: “I’m here to tell you, some time in the next couple of months, we’re going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month.”

April: 241,000 private-sector jobs created.

May: 33,000 private-sector jobs created.

June: 83,000 private-sector jobs created; 652,000 Americans left the work force.

I hope we see those quotes in campaign ads this fall.
