“I thank the gentlelady from North Carolina, and I rise today in strong support of the rule for H.R. 4078. The Regulatory Freeze for Jobs Act is an important piece of legislation that will ensure the government does not stand in the way of America's job creators. I have the honor of representing a district that reaches from San Antonio, Texas, to El Paso, Texas, including nearly 800 miles of U.S.- Mexico border. When I head home for a work period, my days are spent on the road meeting with diverse groups of small businessmen, entrepreneurs, community bankers, farmers, energy producers, teachers, and law enforcement agents. The most common theme that I hear from my constituents, whether they're Democrat or Republican, conservatives or liberals, to the left or to the right, is that the Federal Government is intrusive and standing in the way of job creation by issuing job-killing regulations. One constituent even sent a letter to my office on how regulations and high energy costs are impacting his family. He writes: Our family is on a fixed income. It has become a hardship to buy gasoline. Now, with the coal mines being shut down, our electric bills are going to go through the roof. I guess the wife and I will have to get a block of ice and a box fan to stay cool this summer.…”
