“the way the other side shapes this debate, you'd think keeping money in Washington is going to boost the economy, create jobs, and give business owners the incentive to hire more workers. Nothing could be further from reality. But that's where this debate has gone. ``We can't afford it,'' they say. ``It's too much money,'' they argue. ``Deficits until the cows come home,'' they claim. The reality is that taxes are the leg irons on economic growth. That's the big picture. We are in a situation where economic growth has plodded along at a snail's pace since 1999. Then we were hit by a number of circumstances beyond our control--but each with a huge impact on the economy. So what do we propose? Well, the best way to create jobs is to kick-start our economy. The best way to improve our economy is to let people keep more of their money. The vehicle that will get us there is H.R. 2, the Jobs and Growth package. H.R. 2 will empower consumers, encourage investment, and enhance the retirement of our senior citizens. The Jobs and Growth package is $550 billion in job creation. It lets families keep more of the money they've earned creating opportunities for every American who wants to work. On that note: Every American who wants to work, ought to have an opportunity. Who are we to stand in the way of growth and prosperity? You simply can't keep pooling the money here in Washington and expect the economy to grow.”
