On the recordNovember 30, 2011
Recently a constituent of mine wrote to me and asked: What is going on in Washington? It's a good question. She said that her husband, a small business owner, is taxed so hard that money is tight and, as a result, they cannot grow their business. And she said: If we cannot grow, we cannot create new jobs. I want to know what you are doing for job growth? Again, a good question. The answer is simple. We need pro-growth, pro-jobs policies. The House has passed more than 20 bills that do just that through low taxes, reasonable regulation, less spending, and a smaller, less intrusive Federal Government. These are commonsense bills. Most of them passed with bipartisan support. Where are these bills now? Languishing in the do-nothing Senate. To my constituent, to many others who share her concern, my simple response is: We in the House have acted; now it's time for the Senate to do the same. ____________________
