“I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding. Mr. Chairman, as a cosponsor, I rise in support of this important amendment to protect and promote job creation in both southern Ohio, where I'm from, and for this entire country. Business owners and entrepreneurs currently live and work under an executive branch hostile to the free enterprise system and a President whose governing philosophy has been: You didn't build that. Agencies like the EPA, Health and Human Services, and the Department of Education hand down new regulations with little regard for the real- world impacts. These bureaucrats do not care if jobs are lost, as long as their rules are enforced. This amendment requires an analysis of how many jobs would be added or lost due to new regulations brought forth under this or any future administrations. This amendment also requires the distinction as to whether the jobs affected are government or private sector jobs. This amendment further protects real-world businesses from bureaucrats who are often punitive rather than constructive and are often far removed from everyday economic realities. I stand in support of this amendment.”
