George Phillips Responds to Rising NY Unemployment

Friends,
  This week we found out that unemployment rates continue to rise, particularly here in New York's 22nd District. In the Broome-Tioga area alone we have reached the dismaying level of 9.7%. One thing has become abundantly clear: Washington's policies of business as usual and frenetic spending are not working. As deficits continue to hit record levels, the so-called stimulus package has failed to produce real results. And still Congress continues to battle over a health care plan which will raise taxes and fees on employers, discouraging them from hiring new workers since they have no idea what their costs will be for new hires. The recently passed jobs bill was a small step to help, but it completely fails to address the larger issue. The government needs to foster an environment where hiring is an attractive option and the opportunities for growth and prosperity are obvious. This will only come with real reform in the way Washington does business.

This is a critical year in our nation's history and the time has come for new leadership and fresh ideas. That's why it is vital that we send career tax and spend politicians like Maurice Hinchey home and replace them with people who will get down to work for the American people. If you've Had Enough this ongoing stream of bad news about our economy, please support my campaign and work with me to bring the reform we need to government.

George Phillips Calls on Charlie Rangel to Resign

Today Congressman Rangel announced that he would be stepping down from his committee chairmanship in the wake of revelations regarding his behavior and ongoing ethics concerns. Stepping down from his Chairmanship is not enough.  For a Member of Congress to have made such questionable and unethical decisions regarding tax law when he is head of the Committee that oversees tax policy warrants resignation.

Also, Maurice Hinchey should speak up.  In the past, when controversies have arisen involving Republicans, other members of our party have called upon them to resign. We can't have Members of Congress like Maurice Hinchey tolerating the culture of corruption when it is exposed in their own party.

"So, George, you say you have a bold plan to put our nation's fiscal house in order and create jobs. Everybody wants to do that, but what are the details?"  It's a fair question which deserves an answer, so here it is.
