As SC Unemployment Rate Rises to 11%, Wilson Calls for Less Gov Spending and More Tax Relief

Wilson Signs Letter to Speaker Pelosi Opposing More Government Spending

9.21.10

Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) signed a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi opposing the President's plan to spend more government money to try to create jobs. Wilson encourages Speaker Pelosi to consider passing tax relief and job-creation incentives instead of spending $50 billion more of taxpayers' hard-earned money:

"We need to look no further than the failed ‘stimulus' bill for a recent example of how billions in government spending fails to create long-term private sector jobs. Month after month, South Carolinians continue to find themselves without a job. Congress should not let another day, let alone another month, go by without providing job creation incentives and passing tax relief for small businesses and hardworking families," said Congressman Joe Wilson.
