FROM THE SPEAKER’S BLOG:
- REPEALING
OBAMACARE: A recent survey shows 74% of small businesses say the
president’s health care law “will make job creation … even more difficult.”
And several
Republican women and medical professionals outlined how ObamaCare is driving
up costs and jeopardizing access to care.
- FOCUSING
ON JOBS: “As part of the Republican
jobs plan, the House has passed more than 30 bills to remove government
barriers to economic growth” that are being blocked by Senate Democrats, says
Buerkle.
- #STOPTHETAXHIKE
#4JOBS: The largest tax hike in history is scheduled to hit on
January 1 and it is already creating an environment of uncertainty for small
businesses. The House will vote to stop the tax hike this month.
- FIXING
THE TAX CODE: The House will also lay the groundwork for “a fairer,
simpler tax code that lowers rates and closes special interest loopholes” to
create a better environment for private-sector job growth.
- BLOCKING
ENERGY JOBS: President Obama continues to block thousands of
Keystone XL jobs, and his administration’s five-year leasing plan closes 85% of
America’s offshore areas to energy production. The GOP American
Energy Initiative expands energy production to create jobs and address
high prices.
