Â
“With 54,000 more Americans losing their jobs and unemployment rising to 9.6 percent, it’s time to recognize that Washington’s tax-and-spend policies are not working,†Kirk spokesperson Kirsten Kukowski said. “Illinois needs a fiscally conservative Senator like Mark Kirk who will hold the line on spending, keep taxes low and allow small businesses to grow. We simply cannot afford Alexi Giannoulias’ job-killing rubber stamp.â€
