On the recordNovember 15, 2010
After a year of having their requests for job creation policies fall on deaf ears, the American people have not only spoken; they've been finally heard. When it came to job creation, the American people made it perfectly clear they are no longer willing to play the waiting game. For 15 straight months over 14 million citizens have been without jobs. Despite these dismal numbers, liberal leaders in Congress continue to push for more strangling regulations and more government spending. I believe this is a new day, with a new way forward, including extending tax cuts and passing tax relief for all Americans, while providing the incentives to business to create jobs. It is now time to get the economy rolling, get people back to work, and get rid of Washington's runaway spending. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the global war on terrorism. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Specialist Joseph Deloach and Specialist Jeremiah Ashley, wounded warriors and American heroes whom I visited today receiving world-class care at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
