Delay by Democrats in Washington Forces Layoffs in Arkansas
Partisan Decision-Making by Obama and Pelosi Hinders Ability for Arkansas Company to Create Jobs

DC DEMOCRATS STILL DON’T GET IT: President Obama and Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi are busy “getting serious” about doing everything they can to block a bipartisan package that would create up to 130,000 American jobs and prevent a middle class tax hike:

“‘The president has said he will veto a bill that has the Keystone pipeline in it,’ House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. ‘That doesn’t make a decision as to whether you’re for it or against it, it has no place on this bill. Let’s get serious.'” (Darren Goode, “Dems’ Keystone-Payroll Tax Dilemma,” Politico, 12/8/2011)

MADE IN WASHINGTON, DC: Now, Americans feel the effects of Obama and Pelosi’s delay of the Keystone XL Pipeline that would pave the way for thousands of jobs as companies are forced to lay off employees:

“But plans are delayed on the federal level. Now leaders say the local job market is affected.

“‘We had to make a staffing reduction with some of the temporary employees. Due to the KXL pipeline not being shipped out. We have 500 miles of pipe just sitting in the yard, expected to be shipped out, that some of the employees were working on,’ said President Dave Delie.” (Hubert Tate, “Welspun announces company cutbacks,” FOX 16, 12/12/2011)
