Today, freshman Rob Portman unveiled a new blueprint by GOP Senators developed to create a pro-growth environment aimed at strengthening the economy and getting Americans back to work.
After speaking with members of the private sector across his home state of Ohio (including business owners, employees and economic development groups), Portman led GOP efforts in constructing the plan, which focuses specifically on "budget, tax, regulatory, workforce, trade, energy, and health care proposals that form the basis of a pro-growth plan" to foster job creation and economic stability.
Wasting little time in promoting the plan since returning from the two-week April recess, here's what Senator Portman had to say about the recently released proposal:
This is a pro-growth, pro-jobs plan that will create the environment necessary to get Americans back to work and ensure that American businesses are competitive globally.
Families and small businesses are weighed down by record debt and deficit, high taxes, burdensome regulations, and a costly health care plan that raises costs and reduces coverage. This approach by Washington adds uncertainty for investors and costs for job creators. The Senate Republican Jobs Plan puts us on a path to an environment where families and small businesses can succeed, not just get by.
In contrast to the plan proposed by Senate Republicans, Washington has turned to more government spending, higher taxes, while pushing for overly burdensome regulations on job creators and manufacturers – slowing our economic recovery. We’ve already learned from experience that we can’t spend our way to prosperity. Instead, we must encourage employers to invest in their companies, hire new workers and enable them to compete globally, which is what the Senate Republican Jobs plan will do.
The full plan is available to view here.
