Jobs And The Economy

Spur job creation. Grow our economy.

More taxation, regulation, and litigation will not create more jobs. Government takeovers of the economy have failed while the size and the scope of the federal government has exploded. Washington has tied the hands of small business owners and job creators with onerous regulations and backward fiscal policies that have stalled the economy, slowed innovation and destroyed jobs. We need common sense, pro-growth policies to give small businesses and entrepreneurs renewed confidence in our economy and to remove Washington as the roadblock to job creation.

Nevada and America are at a crossroads and I am committed to taking every possible step to spur job creation and get our economy back on track so that Americans can do what they do best: create, innovate and lead. Our governing agenda is focused on job creation and economic growth. It will address our economic challenges, foster innovation and investment, and help job creators without raising taxes on working families and small business owners.

The House has passed 27 bi-partisan jobs bills, which are stuck in the Senate. Download a copy of the plan here, or read about our solutions at gop.jobs.gov.

End job-killing policies

Nevadans don't want more of a political agenda. They want policies that bring real job creation.

The first step toward recovery is admitting that you have a problem. The administration needs to admit that its policies of record spending, uncontrolled debt, excessive regulations, and the threat of higher taxes are not the solution. They are the problem.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the cost of the President's failed stimulus program will reach $825 billion and interest on the debt will be at least $347 billion. Unemployment in Nevada is still the highest in the nation.

Our country now ranks 13th in the world for 'ease of starting a business' according to a World Bank report. In 2007, we ranked third. Stymieing entrepreneurship is not going to get people back to work.

This year, the Republican majority in the House passed numerous pieces of legislation to liberate job creators from the destructive polices of the administration. Twenty-seven of those bills, which would foster economic growth and job creation, are stuck in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

Unfortunately, the Democrat-controlled Senate has refused to act on the House-passed jobs proposals, and as a result, they continue to place America's economic future in jeopardy.

The Senate needs to hear your voice. Contact Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV): 522 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C., 20510, (202) 224-3542.
