Today, it was reported the jobless rate rose to 9.8 percent in November, the highest since April of this year and the 19th consecutive month over 9 percent. Rep.-elect Bucshon released the following statement:
"These numbers are continued proof that getting Hoosiers and our fellow Americans back to work should be the top priority of the 112th Congress. This news, along with the fact that over 2 million citizens will lose there unemployment benefits before Christmas shows the urgency and stresses the importance of a clear path towards prosperity that doesn't raise the taxes on American families and small...
As a former Naval Reserve Office, I would like to salute the men and women who have, and continue, to wear our nation's uniform. Though we only take one day a year to honor our country's past, present, and future veterans, I would like to thank them all for their service to this great nation.
Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of Larry Bucshon’s campaign.
“As we continue to sprint to the November 2nd election, I have brought my message of commonsense Hoosier values to the citizens of the Indiana 8th Congressional District. With only 21 days left, I continue to travel the district to spread this message of responsible government. I am running to bring our commonsense Hoosier values to Washington, D.C. and to stop the Obama/Pelosi agenda as they continue to lead our country down an irrecoverable path. With unemployment being 9.5 percent or higher for 14 consecutive months...
National unemployment numbers maintained an unhealthy level of 9.6% in the month of September as the unemployment rate has stayed over 9.5% for 14 consecutive months, the longest period since the Great Depression..
“We continue to review more evidence that the Democrat controlled Congress has failed the American people. The stimulus has failed, the takeovers have failed, and the bailouts have failed. Since I released my Jobs and Economic Recovery Plan and stared my ‘Made in Indiana’ tour on August 2nd, I have made jobs and the economy a focal point of my campaign. I have traveled the...
The month of September has already come and gone as we are only 31 days until the election. Yard signs are now available and you can sign up to receive one on my website. Here’s a brief update of my recent activities, news coverage, and endorsements to keep you informed with the progress of my campaign.
My “Made in Indiana” tour continues to drive me across the district as I have now made 21 stops with many more planned before the election. The message I am hearing from voters has been constant; that we need to stop the Obama/Pelosi agenda in Washington, D.C. and provide them with some of our...
Today, September 23, 2010, marks 100 days until the largest tax increase in American history – an estimated $3.8 trillion. It will affect every American, especially families and small businesses.
“We need to extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts for every American. The increase in taxes will take money from the pockets of hard working Americans and small businesses. The Pelosi led Congress needs to act now and focus on getting the economy back on track and have a coherent strategy to create jobs. These tax hikes will slow economic growth, cost Americans their jobs, and have a negative...
Today marks the first day of Fall and an end to Summer. We were promised by the Obama Administration and the Pelosi led Democrats in Congress that this would be the “Recovery Summer” for our nation’s economy.
“With the end of ‘Recovery Summer’ finally here, we have seen once again the failed leadership of the Democrats in Congress and the Obama Administration. Unemployment has risen over the summer months, the manufacturing sector lost jobs for the first time all year, and our economy’s GDP is slowly grinding to a halt once again. With over two-thirds of all...
As we count down the final 50 days of the campaign, I continue to hear the frustrations of my fellow Hoosiers about jobs and the economy. Last week I launched my first television ad and I continue to campaign across the district. I will stand up to the Obama/Pelosi agenda that spends too much, taxes too much, and borrows too much. We don’t need another career politician, like my opponent that has a record of supporting job-killing legislation as a State Representative and will serve as a rubber stamp to the Obama/Pelosi agenda.
I would like to take time today to honor and remember those that perished on this fateful day nine years ago. I would also like to salute the men and women who answered our nation's call to service in response to these treacherous acts. You all, along with your families, are in my thoughts and prayers.
(Evansville, IN) – Larry Bucshon has received the endorsement of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors on August 31, 2010.
“I am honored to have received the support of a pro-business association that is focusing on getting our economy back on track and creating jobs. With unemployment rising in August, we need a coherent economic recovery and jobs strategy now more than ever. I’ve been traveling the Indiana 8th Congressional District with my ‘Made in Indiana’ tour during August, meeting with business leaders to talk about my Jobs and Economic...
