Greg Walden on CNN: We can do a lot better

Greg Walden on CNN Starting Point: "As you say, the economy is sluggish, it's slow. It's not what we were promised. The president said if they just enacted his plan, unemployment rate would be at 5.3% right now. That's 8.5 million Americans that don't have work that were told follow the president's plan, you'll have work. And they don't have it. So, I mean, this is not the kind of recovery you expect. It's not what we've had coming out of any other recession. You've had over 6 million Americans on long-term unemployment that, at its peak, is almost double any other president going clear back to Ronald Reagan's days. I don't think the policies have worked as promised and pledged."
