It's time for the President to get a grip on reality. He obviously doesn't understand the unemployment crisis that's crippling America. The President says that he hasn't seen the House Republican jobs plan. Well, here it is. It's been out since May, and it's available at jobs.gop.gov. Now, maybe the White House is having an Internet problem. I'm proud to join Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings in recommending plans to the supercommittee that create jobs right here in America while at the same time reducing the deficit, ideas like increasing onshore and offshore energy production. Increasing offshore energy production will create over 1 million new jobs alone and would generate billions in new Federal revenue. But President Obama would rather make bad bets on green companies like Solyndra, wasting hard- earned taxpayer dollars. House Republicans have passed jobs bill after jobs bill--they're stacked up like cordwood on the Senate floor--but Senator Reid and President Obama refuse to consider them. The American people deserve better. President Obama's ideologically driven, job-killing policies are hurting America. ____________________
