Pass These Jobs Bills

Floor Speech

Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Speaker, my constituents are rightfully fed up. President Obama has managed to create an economy where the only things that are growing are power in Washington, debt for our children and grandchildren, a lack of confidence for job creators, and the number of unemployed Americans.

When it comes to creating an environment to help the private sector create jobs, the difference between House Republicans and Senate Democrats is the difference between action and inaction.

This year, under the House Republicans' Plan for America's Job Creators, we have passed more than 25 pro-growth job bills. These bipartisan bills are aimed at restoring the freedom and confidence of job creators by breaking down the barriers preventing them from growing and creating badly needed jobs. Yet 21 of these bipartisan House-passed job bills are stuck in the Senate because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continues to put politics before jobs.

It's time for the Senate Democrat leadership to join our fight for America and put them back to work. Pass these jobs bills.
