Weekly Update from Sam

Statement

Dear Friends,

Today the U.S. Department of Labor announced that in May only 54,000 jobs were created while the unemployment rate rose to 9.1 percent. The disastrous economic policies executed by the Obama Administration along with the continued uncertainty they have created is a big reason why we are not seeing recovery or enough jobs created.

Hopefully, this news will be a wakeup call to the White House and Senate that they must start working with House Republicans on policies that will create jobs and cut wasteful spending, such as the Plan for America's Job Creators that we recently unveiled. This plan includes common sense policies that remove uncertainty for our job creators by reducing regulatory burdens, lowering business tax rates to 25 percent, spurring exports by passing the pending free trade agreements, and introducing a budget that gets our nation's fiscal house in order. Instituting these actions will get government out of the way and allow business owners to start handing out paychecks instead of more pink slips.

Sam Graves
Chairman
