Outline of AFL-CIO Positions on Congressional Super Committee Issues

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–September 19, 2011.  Working people are clamoring for leaders in Washington to focus first and hard on creating good jobs.  Speaker Boehner was channeling George Orwell when he claimed the Congressional Super Committee is a jobs committee.  The way to create jobs is not through fiscal austerity and cuts to core middle class programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Let’s be clear: if the Super Committee were to follow Speaker Boehner’s advice, it would deepen our jobs crisis and sink our economy into a black hole.  This is the same failed economic philosophy that drove our economy off a cliff in the first place, and is now once again bringing the global economy to a standstill.
