House Republican Report Demonstrates Democrats' Assault on American Jobs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This morning, House Republican leadership unveiled a comprehensive report detailing how the Democrats' legislative agenda threatens our nation's economic future at a time when hard-working Americans are already stretching their budget thin to provide for their families. House Republican Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today:
"If history has shown us one thing, it's that an ever-expanding federal government financed by an ever-increasing tax agenda is absolutely the wrong way to grow our economy and create new jobs. But now almost one year into this new majority, we've seen time and again that Democrats are willing to impose that reckless agenda on the American taxpaying public at the risk of surrendering tens of millions of good-paying American jobs.
"Today, House Republicans unveiled a report that demonstrates the real cost of the Democrats' misguided policies - which truly represent a "death by a thousand cuts" to hard-working families. Struggling with the high cost of living, the middle class shouldn't be burdened with more than $200 billion in new taxes, regulations, and law-suits - especially at a time when our economy is particularly vulnerable to ill-advised policies that threaten jobs and close the door to much needed investment.
"Republicans believe the American workforce - not Washington politicians - is the engine of our economic growth. Our greatest resource is the strength and ingenuity of our people. It's time the Democrats take that lesson to heart and stop their assault on our future economic vitality."
