Jobs and Regulations

With unemployment numbers on a steady incline, the facts have become clear: uncertainty and too much government - such as regulations, taxes and financing - are hurting our job creators.

To jump start our economy and get Americans back to work, we must go in a different direction than where the previous Congress led us. It is time to get America back to what it does best – which is creating, innovating and leading the world. I am committed to taking every possible step to help get our country back on track and Americans back to work, without putting the burden on our children and grandchildren.

In order to regain the confidence small business owners and entrepreneurs need to hire new workers and expand, we must remove the Washington red tape and the unnecessary, burdensome regulations. It’s time for Congress and this administration to get serious about helping the job creators create jobs. It’s time for government to get out of the way.

I have cosponsored a number of pro-growth legislation in the 112th Congress, including the Cut, Cap and Balance Act (H.R. H.R.2560). I also voted in favor of the Budget Control Act, which adheres to the principles of cutting current spending, reforming future spending, and moving toward a Balanced Budget Amendment – without any tax hikes.
