Gohmert says, \u201cIn order to create jobs for the American people, Washington must stop spending money it does not have. A meager 18,000 American jobs were created in June, but if you look hard at the adjustments, we actually lost 26,000 jobs. This number is staggering and significantly below market expectations. Unemployment continues to climb and is at 9.2% and Senate Democrats have now failed to pass a budget for 800 days. This is truly unacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSadly, this June jobs report does not come as a surprise. However, it proves one thing \u2013 President Obama\u2019s big spending habits have by no means aided job growth in the United States. His massive spending spree has only made this job crisis worse. It\u2019s time to implement policies that work. It\u2019s time to find a way to employ the 14.1 million Americans looking for work. With 28 straight months of national unemployment at or above 8 percent, we cannot just be satisfied with the status quo. In order to get America back to work and grow this economy, we must ease the debt that creates uncertainty among job creators.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON \u2013 Tyler Congressman Louie Gohmert is targeting President Obama in the wake of the unemployment report issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Friday.
