                     REGULATIONS DON'T CREATE JOBS

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join the chorus of 
Americans asking Washington to stop damaging the economy with job-
killing regulations. Small businesses don't thrive when they're hit 
with additional burdens from the Federal Government.

new regulations create jobs because they force businesses to hire 
people to comply with the new mandates. Madam

Speaker, this defies common sense. And that's why I am introducing two 
bills: one which would pause all new regulations for a year so that 
businesses would know the rules they are to live under, and another 
that would require Federal regulators to analyze the impact of their 
new rules on jobs and to find the least costly alternative for each new 
business mandate.
  Madam Speaker, let's come together and agree that regulations don't 
create jobs. And let's pass commonsense legislation to get America 
working again.
