Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in strong support of H.R. 10, the REINS Act, because America's job creators are buried in red tape and need certainty from the Federal Government in order to create jobs. This bill would provide that. You know, when I travel up and down eastern and southeastern Ohio, I hear a recurring theme from the businesses that I meet with: Government overregulation is strangling their ability to hire new employees, expand their businesses, innovate, and compete. Today it costs a business over $10,000 per employee just to comply with current Federal regulations. This administration that claims it believes in reducing the burden on small business is in the process of adding another $67 billion worth of new regulations this year alone. This administration is burying small businesses, and enough is enough. The REINS Act will simply return control of the regulatory process to the American people, who are fed up with unelected bureaucrats stopping job creation and delaying true economic recovery. I strongly urge my colleagues to support this legislation.”
