Sperling: “Just think about how much stronger the job market would have been if just two of the things the President had proposed had passed…”

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria welcomed the director of the White House National Economic Council, Gene Sperling to FAREED ZAKARIA GPS this weekend.  In a wide-ranging interview, Sperling remarks that the unemployment rate could have been well under eight percent if measures proposed by the president to prevent teacher layoffs and infrastructure proposals to encourage construction hiring had been passed by Congress.
