AS ECONOMIC GROWTH REVISED LOWER, MENENDEZ SEEKS TO KILL 700,000 JOBS
Middletown, September 27… The Commerce Department today revised second quarter economic growth down to 1.3% from the previous estimate of 1.7%. This weakened growth figure is further evidence that the policies Senator Menendez supports are simply not working and are unable to lower our nation’s unemployment. Yet, Senator Menendez proposes more of the same- higher taxes on small businesses that will kill at least 700,000 jobs. For that, he has earned the Outrage of the Week.
“Our nation’s economic growth is worse than we thought and Senator Menendez wants to double down on more of the same,” said Senator Joe Kyrillos. “The solution for robust economic growth and jobs is not taxing 700,000 jobs out of extinction, but giving small businesses the certainty they need to grow and expand. Time and again, Senator Menendez has promised us better, but has given us much worse. If he can’t provide strong economic growth, then it’s time for him to get out of the way.”
Sen. Menendez is a political hack whose expiration date is long past. His personal climb from the Hudson County machine to the US Senate has helped only 1 person – him. Senator, please take your golden parachute and jump. It’s time to get a senator who will promote our state first.
