Jobs

The current Congress has spent the vast majority of their time trying to force-feed a massive and unpopular health care bill down the throats of American taxpayers, at the expense of creating jobs and solving the unemployment crisis.  In parts of the 1st District unemployment is 14% with no signs of slowing.  We must work together to remove obstacles for American businesses, not create more barriers for growth, and allow them every opportunity to prosper.  As a small businessman, I am deeply concerned that the Federal Government continues to forget that consumers spend money not Banks or Corporations.  We need to develop new ways for consumers to feel safe in putting money back into the economy.
