U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, MI-08, today released the following statement following President Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress on job creation:

"Though I certainly share the President's goal of getting Americans back to work, another speech won't change the Washington, D.C.-created burdens that are hampering job creation. Excessive new regulations, health care and energy costs initiated in the past three years are causing employers to think twice about hiring, growing or expanding. Until those policies change and until we stop threatening huge tax increases on people who create jobs, more of the same borrow and spend "stimulus" policies out of Washington are sure to have the same impact they had in 2009 -- a huge bill to our kids, lots of money wasted and not many new jobs."
