The recently passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is riddled with bad economic policy.

2010 was a banner year for regulators and saw an 18 percent increase in Federal Register pages devoted to regulation.

Where will that growth come from? It won't be from households.

The reason we saw these massive job losses was because we weren't doing our job regulating the financial markets.

To suggest this doesn't discourage job creation in this country is to ignore reality.

The Federal Government cannot legislate or regulate its way to job creation in our country.

Despite some unprecedented attempts, perhaps best reflected in a failed $814 billion stimulus bill passed in the early hours of the last Congress, the federal government cannot legislate or regulate its way to job creation in our country.

Today, workers have a fairer minimum wage rate--a rate that was increased by Democrats after Republicans blocked an increase for a decade--shamefully allowing the value of the rate to drop to a 50 year low.

No Federal agency or board should rewrite the rules of the game to favor any special interest over the interest of all Americans.

I applaud that. I urge you to hold his feet to the fire and make sure you really do that to cut down on regulation.

the most imperative thing at the moment is to concentrate on pro-growth policies and at every juncture, when faced with a policy decision, ask will this or will this not make it easier for an employer to put one more person on the payroll.

The agencies that oversee the financial markets must be fully staffed and allowed to do their job.
