Restore the Republic
The House has sent several jobs bills to the Senate. Harry Reid is sitting on them. No voting allowed.
Citations, please.
For starters, the 2012 Budget. True, Reid hasn't brought a budget up for a vote in 3 years, but that's just the Democrat Party way.
There's also these job building issues awaiting a vote from Harry Reid's senate:
Natural Resources Chairman Doc Hastings (R-WA): House Republicans have introduced and passed bill after bill that would add jobs to our economy, yet President Obama and the Democrat controlled Senate refuse to act. Three offshore energy bills that I introduced and passed in the House with bipartisan support would create 1.2 million jobs and add $840 million to the treasury to help pay down our staggering national debt.
Ways & Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI): In order to get Americans back to work producing the economic growth this country needs, we need to let the private sector do what it does best, invest and create jobs. By leveling the playing field for American farmers, manufacturers and service industry, the three long-pending trade agreements will increase American exports and lead to the creation of 250,000 more jobs. The President should immediately submit these agreements to Congress, where they enjoy broad bipartisan support.
Financial Services Chairman Spencer Bachus (R-AL): Small businesses, which create most of the jobs in America, are having difficulty getting loans because regional and small banks are being smothered by the 400 new Federal regulations mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. These additional burdens being placed on financial institutions make it very difficult for them to extend the credit essential to create jobs and jumpstart our economy. Fewer loans to small businesses mean fewer jobs.
Oversight & Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA): President Obama and the Democratic-led Senate should take action on House Republican's job creation agenda. Pursuing more job killing regulations like the energy production permitoriums in the Gulf of Mexico and Appalachia or the action against Boeing's new workers in South Carolina is a recipe for more stagnation.
