John Boehner marking anniversary of Obama’s ‘Recovery Summer,’ urges the president to enact Republicans' A Plan for America’s Job Creators

Washington (Jun 16) At a press conference marking tomorrow’s anniversary of the Obama Administration’s ‘Recovery Summer,’ House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and other House Republicans urged the president to change course and help enact Republicans’ job creation plan. A Plan for America’s Job Creators is designed to remove government obstacles to private-sector job growth – the kind of growth the ‘stimulus’ promised but failed to deliver. Below is the video and text of Boehner’s remarks:

“Job creation has been our focus of our new majority from the beginning. It started with the Pledge to America, and now we’ve built on that pledge with our Plan for America’s Job Creators. You can check out all the details at Jobs.GOP.gov. Our plan is designed to promote private-sector growth – the kind of growth that the ‘stimulus’ promised but failed to deliver. In fact, it turns out that federal regulators have been hiring at a rate more than three times that of private sector employers. So taxpayers are footing the bill for more bureaucrats while small businesses are afraid to hire. Washington Democrats say they own the economy. This is what their economy looks like.

“We invited the president to work with us on jobs, but instead he downplayed 9.1 percent unemployment as ‘bumps on the road’ and laughed off the ‘stimulus’ failure. Now here we are on the anniversary of his administration’s ‘Recovery Summer’ that started a year ago and Americans are still asking the question, ‘where are the jobs?’ The American people deserve answers, but when it comes this Administration it’s clear they don’t have any.

“You’ve heard me say before, it’s time to get serious. I hope the president will change course, listen to the American people and work with us to help enact real job creation ideas.”

Hoeven to Deliver National Republican Weekly Radio Address Saturday. Will Stress Need to Ratify Pending Free Trade Agreements to Create Jobs, Grow Economy WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven will deliver the national Republican weekly radio address on Saturday, June 18. He will discuss the importance of three pending free-trade agreements and the need for the President to send them promptly to the U.S. Senate for approval. “Our country needs the kind of pro-jobs, pro-growth policies that will help us live up to our vision of a strong, peaceful, prosperous America,” Hoeven said. “We have an opportunity right now to advance that vision and jumpstart the nation’s economy. Robust international trade can help us do it, and we can start by ratifying long-pending free-trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.”

Hoeven serves on the U.S. Senate Appropriations, Energy and Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Indian Affairs committees.

A copy of Senator Hoeven’s address and links to audio and video will be available Friday afternoon, embargoed until 6 a.m. Saturday morning.
