JOBS CAN'T GROW WHEN CASH FLOW SLOWS
(Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address a topic that
concerns most Americans at this time, and that's jobs. The House has
opposed the administration when they have proposed hitting job creators
with new taxes or more regulatory burdens. So far this year, the House
has passed a total of 17 job-creating bills. This week, the House will
vote on two jobs bills that will enable small businesses and
entrepreneurs to access more capital to create more jobs. Jobs can't
grow when the cash doesn't flow. Smarter regulation and fewer
roadblocks to capital will help job creators put more Americans back to
work.
We in Congress have the responsibility to give entrepreneurs and
small business owners the business environment they need to unleash
America's economic potential. That's what we were sent here to do, and
that's what our constituents deserve.
