             DEMOCRATS SHOULD STOP THE SPIN ON THE ECONOMY

jobs since January is a clear sign that their Recovery Act has not done 
its job. Instead of more rhetoric, Democrats should work with

this administration. We should focus our time on helping small 
businesses grow and provide relief to those who are suffering during 
these tough economic times.
  Republicans have offered a plan to do just that, and we will do so 
without adding trillions in additional Big Government, liberal 
spending, and actions such as the new health care taxes that will 
destroy jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
