Reid on December jobless rate: 'I won't rest until every Nevadan who wants a job has one'

Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., reacting to today's report that Nevada's unemployment rate fell to 12.6 percent in December, said this in a statement:

"We continue to see signs of progress in Nevada's economy, but far too many workers are still struggling to find jobs in our state.  We must work together in Congress to pass a year-long extension of the payroll tax cut to keep dollars in the pockets of middle-class families who need them most.  It shouldn't be a fight to pass common-sense, job-creating policies like the payroll tax cut, or to rebuild our roads, schools and bridges. I won't rest until every Nevadan who wants a job has one, and I urge Republicans to put politics aside to work with us so Nevadans can get back to work."

Harrito won't rest until every one of the 25% of the Nevada Population, that are here ILLEGALLY in Harrito's Sanctuary State, has a Job, and a College Grant.

Anyone who believes Harry Reid is a fool. This idiot has been the SENATE MAJORITY LEADER for the past five years. Unemployment grew to record levels under his leadership. Why would ANYONE with a brain believe that after five years he is now going to fix the unemployment problem in Nevada? The truth is, he really doesn't care about Nevada or the fools that vote for him. Harry Reid is taking care of Harry Reid and his friends and family. End of story.
