Last Friday, Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) gave the second in a series of speeches about the state of the U.S. economy. The full speech is here, and it is excerpted below:
Few things matter more to a working family than the pace of the economy, especially after a hard recession. If, on the one hand, its a rapid, strong recovery, jobs will return quickly, people will return the workforce, and a great deal of social suffering will be averted.
If, on the other hand, its a slow recovery, then businesses dont create many new jobs, wages stagnate or fall, and the families continue to borrow from their savings to pay their bills. Life is spent wondering and worrying about the future.
We live today in the slowest economic recovery since the end of World War II.
