A reminder that elections have consequences:
unemployment rate vs. party that controlls congress
Remember, Liberal Democrats think unemployment checks are the fastest way to stimulate the economy:
And in related news, only 25% of Americans think 2008′s ‘stimulus’ has helped the economy. Via Rasmussen:
Just 25% of voters nationwide believe the economic stimulus package created jobs and voters are counting on decisions made by business owners more than government officials to create the jobs needed by the nation.
Those results come from a Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey conducted the night before release of the government report on job creation in June. That report showed the unemployment rate falling to 9.5% but also showed that just 83,000 private sector jobs were created.
The new survey found that just 29% believe last year’s economic stimulus plan has helped the economy while 43% believe it hurt. Not surprisingly, there is little appetite for another round. By a 69% to 15% margin, voters believe tax cuts is a better way to create jobs rather than more government spending.
Democrats are planning to let the biggest tax increase in American history occur in January 2011. Immediately after the 2010 election.
