(Salisbury)
- Republican small businessman and Eastern Shore native Rob Fisher released the
following statement regarding today's sobering economic news:
"Last month our
economy lost another 131,000 jobs and unemployment remained alarmingly high at
9.5%, yet Nancy Pelosi and Frank Kratovil continue to pursue the same flawed
and failing policies that have resulted in fewer jobs and mountains of debt for
all Americans. If the
definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting
different results, this has to be the most absurd Congress in our history.
Since
the passage of the so-called stimulus Maryland has lost over 14,000 jobs, but Kratovil
and his fellow Democrats remain intent on rewarding the special interest groups
that got them elected and pursuing economic policies that have failed
throughout the world. It's clear
the only jobs career politicians are interested in saving are their own.
It's
time we held our representatives accountable for their actions. We need people in Washington who
understand that small businesses, not the government, create jobs, and who will
fight to fix our economy and get our fiscal house back in order. The First District deserves a
Congressman who will listen to his constituents, stand up to career politicians
and Put Maryland First."
