Washington, DC—Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement after Republicans blocked the Small Businesses jobs bill:

“At every turn, Republicans have blocked us from creating jobs. For nearly two months, they have held up our efforts to help small businesses innovate, grow and put Americans back to work. Now they have blocked this bill altogether, despite our efforts to accommodate their concerns and just a day after paying lip service to the need to create jobs. Republican rhetoric is one thing, but their actions speak louder than words.”
