On the recordFebruary 11, 2011
I will tell you that specifically we recognize that what we need to do to create jobs in this country is provide certainty, tax certainty, and, right here in this resolution, certainty that we are being clear, that we are going to address the regulations that are killing jobs in this country that the Democratic Party has allowed to happen over the last several years. We're going to change that today. I rise in support of this resolution because small business owners in South Dakota and across this country are losing more of their bottom lines to red tape this year and in the past several years than they have in decades. Federal agencies continuously overstep their powers and impose new regulations, which not only raises the cost of doing business but feeds the uncertainty of doing business here in America. Today's economy is uncertain enough. The least we can do for our job creators is to provide them with stability by eliminating unnecessary and costly burdens. The EPA is rife with examples of these burdens.
