BoY! where are the Jobs you promised?

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) has an op-ed in today's Washington Examiner that asks a simple question of the President and his allies in Congress: where are the jobs? Boehner writes: "All year, Democrats have made promises about job creation. If Congress passed the trillion-dollar 'stimulus,' they promised unemployment would not rise above eight percent. "Five months later, unemployment has spiked to 9.4 percent, with President Obama now admitting that he expects it to reach 10 percent later this year. "So what has the 'stimulus' given us? Spending on projects like a new auxiliary runway for powerful Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. John Murtha's 'Airport for No One' - but no jobs. In fact, we've lost almost three million jobs this year."
