Where is the President's plan? If I had a nickel for every time I have heard that question, we would be much closer to resolving our debt crisis. But the President and my friends across the aisle have still not answered the most important question of all: Where is their plan for job creation? House Republicans have a plan. At the core of this plan is passing the three pending trade agreements. These trade agreements have the ability to immediately create thousands of jobs, open new markets for our farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers, and to play a pivotal role in growing our economy. Yet, the President continues to stand in the way. These agreements create jobs, period. So let's pass these agreements with South Korea, Colombia, and Panama. Let's reauthorize the GSP and the Andean Trade Preference Act and finally fulfill our duty to the American people. ____________________
