The Obama-Owens Economy: Disappointing Job Numbers, Failed Leadership, and Broken Promises New Yorkers Struggle to Find Work In Dismal Economic Conditions and a dwindling Manufacturing Sector WASHINGTON — The national unemployment for the month of June was announced today at the unacceptably high rate of X.X percent, proving that Bill Owens has not stopped pursuing the same failed policies that New York families have been forced to endure throughout his career. Sadly, it seems Owens wants to continue the same job destroying policies that depress economic growth. “New Yorkers remember President Obama’s promise that the failed stimulus would keep unemployment below 8%, and they understand how the policies supported by Bill Owens and others has prevented that,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “Owens’ reckless spending, borrowing and taxing agenda continues to lead the people of New York into a deeper cycle of joblessness. Americans have lost confidence in this economy, and they have lost confidence in the Democrats like Obama and Owens whose agenda has caused it.” In June, the national unemployment rate remained debilitatingly high at X.X percent. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Accessed 7/6/2012) The decline of the manufacturing sector adds to unemployment fears in an already worrisome economy: “U.S. manufacturing shrank in June for the first time in nearly three years, adding to signs that economic growth is weakening.” (Christopher Rugaber, “US manufacturing shrinks for first time in 3 years,” Associated Press, 7/2/2012)
A recent survey shows the nation’s business leaders’ confidence in the future of the economy has dropped drastically, reflecting the Democrat party’s ability to get the economy back on track: “Only 17 percent viewed the economy positively in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 67 percent in the first quarter. Only 20 percent expect an improvement in six months, down from 59 percent.” (“Survey: CEO confidence in economy drops dramatically,” The Hill, 7/5/2012)
