Dems Out of Touch on Jobs

Today, the Department of Labor released the latest jobs numbers from last month. Some 36,000 Americans received pink slips according to Government estimates in February.

Democrats reacted to the dire news with a hearty thumbs up!

On the floor of the Senate, Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid said:

"Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good," Reid said Friday on the Senate floor.

Lost your job last month? Congratulations! According to Sen. Reid, that's really good news.

Sen. Reid's rhetoric offers zero consolation for the 36,000 Americans who joined the burgeoning ranks of the unemployed. The Democrats gross, political angling only underscores how out of touch Democrats are with the problems facing the American people.

With some 14.9 million Americans out of work, spinning unemployment figures as 'good news' is just crass - even for a partisan such as Reid. Unbelievable.
