Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent the great State of Utah and Salt Lake City. Forbes Magazine recently rated Utah as the best State in the Nation for business and careers. Salt Lake City was recently ranked as the best city in the country for new graduates. But while the State of Utah is doing very well, the rest of our Nation is not. As a small business owner, I know that government does not create jobs; the private sector creates jobs. And businessmen all over this Nation are asking--no, they're even begging--for one thing: Get government out of the way. Allow our economy to grow. Create new American jobs. Expand opportunity; don't expand government. There are, right now, 4.4 million Americans that have been jobless for more than 6 months, and this is completely unacceptable. We must simplify our Tax Code. We need to become energy independent. We need to move forward with projects such as the Keystone pipeline. We need to reform health care and entitlement programs, which account for the vast majority of our deficit and debt spending. Americans deserve better. We can do better. ____________________
