“Spending is not bringing the jobs right now. Spending has continued to increase during the course of Obama’s presidency, and the unemployment rate, starting in 2008, has boomed, to the point where we’re all starting to feel good about 7.8 percent unemployment, even as people continue to jump out of the workforce. Six percent unemployment was [considered] a problem just five years ago! We need smart spending policies in place, that allow employers to feel good to create jobs, and to feel that those jobs will still be there three, four, five, ten years from now and they won’t be in bankruptcy court.” — Lenny McAllister, moderate-conservative Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s district
