Sen. Toomey Issues Statement On The American Jobs Act

Statement

Date: Oct. 12, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Taxes

Today, Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) issued the following statement on the American Jobs Act:

"President Obama's latest stimulus bill contains hundreds of billions of dollars in increased spending and more tax hikes, which won't create jobs any more than his last stimulus bill did. With the unemployment rate at 9.1 percent, we do not have time to waste on political games and big tax increases that will only make our economy weaker for all Americans.

"Instead, I support a real jobs plan, which will reduce burdensome regulations that are preventing businesses from hiring; ratify three pending free trade agreements that will increase Pennsylvania's exports; simplify and reduce business and individual tax rates to encourage job-creating business expansions; and get our federal deficits under control, among other pro-growth measures. This plan will actually create jobs."
