Hensarling Votes to Expand Jobs, Opportunity for East Texans

Statement

U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), a leading conservative and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, released the following statement on H.R. 4, a package of bills aimed at improving our economy and fostering job creation.

"All across our nation, far too many Americans are sitting around their kitchen tables wondering how they're going to keep a roof over their head, put food on the table, and gas in their cars to drive kids to school and themselves to a job -- if they're fortunate enough to have one in the Obama economy. American's paychecks are shrinking and job security is waning. While our nation's spending driven debt crisis and the threat of higher taxes are holding back growth, job creators are also burdened by Obamacare, out of control Washington regulations, and our nation's convoluted and voluminous tax code.

"The package of bills passed by the House today addresses many of the issues that are stifling growth. From addressing some of the onerous regulations in Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, to requiring any major new federal rules and regulations receive Congressional approval before implementation, to making the research and development tax credit and small business tax expensing permanent, these pro-growth economic policies will allow employers to enlarge paychecks and expand payrolls."
