Mr. Speaker, the White House, this week, is dusting off the old talking points on jobs and the economy. Hopefully, they will undergo a few revisions. The President should strike all references to stimulus because that certainly hasn't worked to create jobs. Tax increases, EPA regulations, and any claims that ObamaCare will spur job growth should also be removed. Practical experience tells us those strategies are as empty as the promises used to sell them. Today's Washington Post includes a sobering indictment of the President's economic handling thus far: The only part of the Obama economy that has flourished because of Obama policy is Wall Street. What about Main Street? What about small businesses? What about working families? Working families want affordable health care. Working families don't want the government regulating their jobs out of existence just because Washington looks down on their industry. House Republicans have a plan for the economy that defends working families. The White House should consider our ideas. ____________________
