Prepared to do the kind of public policy that will benefit most of the people and certainly african-americans, and so, yes, he is pandering. one final point. african-american unemployment is at 16.7%. do you have any idea what the republicans want to do for these americans to get them back to work other than give tax breaks to the rich? they don t want to do anything. as a matter of fact, in this same bill that i m referring to, they just cut the job training programs for the one-stop centers. they re cutting jobs. as they make cuts throughout this budget, which means that they are undermining our economy. people don t have jobs. they can t invest in the economy. they can t spend money. they don t want to do anything about the 16.7% unemployment. and i don t expect them do. that s why blacks are not voting for the republicans and certainly not going to vote for him. congresswoman maxine waters, thanks for your time tonight. appreciate it so much. let s turn to joe watkins ....
