What a fraud this man is. In one breath he claims that the federal government does not hold the power to create jobs. Perhaps he is correct about that, since lately the Republicans have done all they could to sabotage the economy at large and Obama's Jobs Bill is the latest example.
Now he has been exposed begging for federal money and economic stimuli in order to further employment in his own district. So which is it Speaker Cantor? His hypocrisy knows no bounds. For shame!

Just a month after going on ABC and claiming that the government can’t create jobs, Cantor sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to request almost $75 million in federal stimulus funds for the I-95 high speed rail project. Cantor along with Rep. Bobby Scott wrote that, “High speed rail provides a sensible and viable solution to our region’s transportation challenges. It is estimated that creating a high speed railway through Virginia will generate as many as 185,500 jobs, as much as $21.2 billion in economic development, and put nearly 6.5 million cars off the road annually.”
In 2010, Eric Cantor wrote in the book Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders that, “Government doesn’t create jobs and build wealth; entrepreneurs, risk takers and private businesses do,” but just months earlier he was still requesting federal money for job creation.
