Salt in the Wound: Blunt Bus Tour Runs over the Jobless
For Immediate Release: February 23, 2010 Contact: Ryan Hobart (573) 636-5241 Ext. 125 New Interactive Map Details Congressman Blunt's Real Record on Jobs Senator Bond votes for jobs bill to help put Missourians back to work - will Congressman Blunt and Chuck Purgason put politics aside and support bipartisan measure? The real question now is what would Congressman Blunt do to get Missourians back to work? Just yesterday, Senator Kit Bond joined his colleagues in supporting the bipartisan jobs bill to help put Missourians back to work. Will Congressman Blunt and Chuck Purgason put politics aside and support a commonsense measure that helps Missouri families, or will Congressman Blunt continue to spin his abysmal economic record and hope no one notices him standing in the way of new jobs for Missouri? "Washington insider Congressman Blunt is hoping that by simply talking about job creation folks will forget that his failed leadership and special interest giveaways led to the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression," said Missouri Democratic Party Spokesman Ryan Hobart. "While Blunt was in Congressional leadership, catering to the needs of lobbyists and special interests and turning a $128 billion into a $1.2 trillion dollar deficit, unemployment in Missouri shot up to nearly 10 percent. One thing is clear, Congressman Roy Blunt has a dismal record when it comes to the economy and jobs."
