One thing is certain: Excessive government regulations are hurting America's economy and strangling job creation. Just this year, new regulations cost our economy almost $100 billion, and this is just the cost of new regulations this year. The Small Business Administration estimates that regulations cost our economy approximately $1.75 trillion annually. This is unacceptable. With over 14 million Americans out of work, we can't afford these excessive government regulations. But instead of creating jobs, President Obama would rather create more regulations that kill jobs and burden small businesses. Now, House Republicans have done the exact opposite. As part of the House Republican Plan for America's Job Creators, we're fighting to reduce the regulatory burdens to empower small businesses to create jobs. We've passed over 20 bills that will create much needed jobs right now. President Obama and Senate Democrats need to work for job creation, not against it, because the people of eastern and southeastern Ohio and all Americans deserve better. ____________________
