Reid: 'Private Sector Jobs Have Been Doing Just Fine'
2011-10-19
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday that it's critical to pass legislation for hiring teachers and police because public sector employees are losing their jobs while "private sector jobs have been doing just fine."

Speaking on the Senate floor on Wednesday, Reid was lamenting the complaints from opponents of a 5 percent tax on people who make more than $1 million a year, and offered his take on the need to pass the $35 billion stimulus portion of President Obama's American Jobs Act, which includes funding for municipal and state workers.

Really Reid? You will say ANYTHING to save your butts, won't you? 9.1% unemployment, 400K new jobless claims every month and you have the FUCKING GALL TO SAY THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS OK!?!?!
