U.S. Chamber of Commerce Open Letter to President Obama FULL TEXT

Jobs for America: An Open Letter to the President of the United States, the United States Congress, and the American People Washington has taken its eyes off the ball by neglecting America's number one priority--creating the more than 20 million jobs we need over the next 10 years to reemploy the unemployed and to keep pace with a growing population.

Now is the time to get back on track. In order to forestall another economic downturn and create jobs, we must work together constructively to ease uncertainty, unleash private sector investment, and generate real economic growth. We must do the following to succeed:

» Create a Growth and Jobs Tax Policy
» Restore Fiscal Health
» Expand Trade and Export-Driven Jobs
» Rebuild and Expand America’s Infrastructure
» Reduce the Burden of Regulatory Uncertainty

The business community shares the view of most Americans that the current approaches are not working. We are offering an achievable road map to greater economic growth and more jobs, and we don’t care who gets the credit. We invite leaders in government and citizens across the nation to support it.
