Sen. Reid Says "Private Sector Jobs Are Doing Just Fine"

In a speech on the Senate floor on Oct. 19, 2011, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) says,

"The massive layoffs we've had in America today—of course they're rooted in the last administration—and it's very clear that private sector jobs are doing just fine. It's the public sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers, and that's what this legislation's all about. And it's unfortunate my friend the Republican Leader is complaining about that."

The construction industry is private sector and it completely died putting millions out of work

All these career politicians like Reid and McConnell should be in jail

What has happened to the GDP in the past days right before these idiots claimed the private sector is "doing just fine"? Did it drop by 10% or something like that?

Senator Reid was Senate Majority Leader during the last administration, so I guess anything BAD from then is HIS fault. The president can't sign anything that doesn't pass through Reid first.

and all those car dealerships shut down by government order?

"A mind is a terrible thing to lose"
