Boehner On Jobs: No More Stunts, Time For Solutions
“Americans are asking 'where are the jobs' but all they are getting from out-of-touch Washington Democrats is more spending, more debt, and now, more talk.”
Nov 12, 2009
Washington -
Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) issued the following statement after The White House announced it would host a “jobs summit” next month:
“Americans are asking 'where are the jobs' but all they are getting from out-of-touch Washington Democrats is more spending, more debt, and now, more talk. The nation’s jobs crisis demands immediate action, which is why Republicans sent a letter to the President last month reiterating our common-sense solutions to help small businesses create jobs and get the economy moving again.
“Washington Democrats’ half-hearted approach to the jobs crisis pales in comparison to the fierce urgency with which they rammed through Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 2,000-page government takeover of health care. As a matter of fact, Speaker Pelosi recently hosted a similar ‘summit’ with the same economists who helped create the trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ that has failed to create jobs immediately as the American people were promised. Unsurprisingly, that PR stunt failed to produce the bipartisan job creation plan out-of-work families struggling to make ends meet are looking for.”
NOTE: Last month, House Republican leaders sent a letter to the President urging him to consider common-sense solutions to help put Americans back to work. These proposals, some of which were presented to President Obama as early as his first week in office, were developed by House Republicans' Economic Recovery and Health Care solutions groups. The Economic Recovery Solutions Group, led by Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), is also developing additional proposals to spur job creation.
