Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 7, 2011
The number one job for House Republicans is job growth. The number one impediment to job growth is uncertainty: uncertainty caused by a record-high debt--$14.3 trillion and growing-- and the record-high taxes that are going to have to pay for it; uncertainty about the largest tax increase in the history of the Nation that the President pledges to support in just 19 months. Add to that the unknown cost of the government takeover of health care and the unknown price of Dodd-Frank and you've got a very uncertain private sector. We cannot help the job seeker by punishing the job creator. They need us to work with them, not against them. If we follow the House Republican plan for America's job creators and stop spending money we don't have, certainty will be restored, our economy will grow, and jobs will be created. ____________________
