Truth from Harry Reid

From time to time, Harry Reid says something which unmasks his true feelings about the economy, the American people and the future direction of the country. Today was just such a day. Here are the first two paragraphs in the report in The Hill about Reid's comments:


"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday indicated Congress needs to worry about government jobs more than private-sector jobs, and that this is why Senate Democrats are pushing a bill aimed at shoring up teachers and first-responders.

'It's very clear that private-sector jobs have been doing just fine; it's the public-sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers, and that's what this legislation is all about,' Reid said on the Senate floor."

So there you have it. Private sector jobs HAVE BEEN DOING JUST FINE!!!!!!! In English, this means that Reid is actually telling the millions of unemployed Americans that they can just go to hell; Reid is going to support his government workers no matter what. Over sixteen percent of the American workforce is either unemployed or has given up looking for work, but Reid thinks that the private sector has been doing just fine. There are about two million fewer private sector jobs than there were three years ago when Obama took office, but Reid thinks that the private sector has been doing just fine. During Obama's term, the unemployment rate has been consistently higher than at any time since the Depression in the 1930's, but Reid thinks that the private sector has been doing just fine.

The real truth is that Reid and the Democrats do not understand how bad things are in the private sector. Indeed, it seems that they do not even care. Unless you are part of big government, the Democrats will just let you fend for yourself.
