Issue Position: Job Growth for America

Issue Position

With millions of Americans either underemployed or out of work, a principal focus of our government needs to be helping to get the economy moving again.

That means creating the environment under which businesses can feel confident to reinvest, expand, and hire new workers. Only private sector job growth can help stabilize our nation's economy and create new opportunities for our families.

No government "stimulus spending" or phony "jobs bill" will establish the foundation we need for true growth. Rather, we need to empower small businesses and give them greater certainty about the future by:

Eliminating overreaching government regulations and mandates -- LIKE OBAMACARE;

Lowering individual tax rates so our families can keep more of what they earn and be able to manage the planning for their own futures rather than relying on the government;

Lowering corporate tax rates and leaving them in place so our businesses can be more competitive in a global economy and make plans for reinvestment; and

Vastly expanding American energy development.

We have passed dozens of bills to help in these three key areas -- as yet, the Senate has refused to act in a responsible manner to help our businesses and our families overcome the economic challenges we are facing.
