Small Business tax Cut Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BACHUS. Mr. Speaker, this recession is different, and the difference is there's no recovery. And that is a historic difference.

Now, what is different about this recession and all our other recessions when we had a recovery is government policy. Government policy has stifled job creation. Normally, at this time in a recovery, 65 percent of the jobs are being created by small businesses. But 2 million jobs aren't there because of Obama's health care policies alone, regulatory policies, tax policies. Small business is struggling.

Now, let me tell you, Congress cannot create jobs. We're not going to create jobs with this bill. We're going to allow small businesses to create jobs.

You'll either choose government or you'll choose the people. You'll choose government to continue to create jobs like with Solyndra, and we saw the disaster there, or you'll allow the people to create those jobs. I'm putting my trust in the people.
