Boehner Refutes Rahm Emanuel's Claim that "We've Rescued the Economy" - Video 7/22/09

Here is video today of GOP House Minority Leader John Boehner from the House Floor where he said bluntly that the Obama Administration has not "rescued the economy." Boehner was reacting to what he said were comments by Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel who reportedly said "We have rescued the economy." Boehner pointed out that the 9.5% unemployment does not bear that out, nor the millions of jobs that stand to be lost if President Obama's "Cap and Trade" legislation were to become law.

"Not only has the stimulus not worked and the economy not been rescued, the President continues to promote policies that will create more unemployment in America. The national energy tax that went through this House last month will cause millions of Americans to lose their jobs over the next 10 years, at 2.5 million per year. And we're debating the health care plan, the government takeover of health care, which according to the Presidents council of economic advisors model will cost five million more Americans their jobs." - Minority Leader Boehner
