Congressman Flake on Obama Jobs Plan: "Nothing New Here"

Statement

Date: Sept. 8, 2011
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Business and Consumers Government Budget and Spending

Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona's Sixth District, today reacted to President Obama's address to Congress on jobs and the economy.

"President Obama's jobs plan is unfortunately more of the same -- proposals that will only drive up our debt and deficit," said Flake. "More targeted spending and gimmicky tax breaks won't give the private sector the confidence or stability it needs to create new jobs."
