Citing Jobs Report, Speaker Boehner Calls On President Obama to Abandon Quest for More Failed 'Stimulus' Spending & Debt, Support GOP Plan to Unshackle America's Economy

Contact: Michael Steel, Brendan Buck, Kevin Smith, 202-225-0600

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today issued the following statement regarding the latest jobs report released by the U.S. Department of Labor:

    "The president's 'stimulus' spending binge isn't working and has failed to deliver on its promise to keep unemployment below eight percent.  The spending binge is hurting job creation -- eroding confidence, draining funds away from private investment, and spreading uncertainty among job creators.  And now the president is asking for an increase in the national debt limit without any commitment to stopping the spending binge that has shackled our economy.

    "Instead of more 'stimulus' spending and more debt, as the president proposed in his State of the Union address, we need less spending, more freedom, and more certainty for those in America who create jobs.

    "Republicans have a plan to help our economy get back to creating jobs: the Pledge to America.  Instead of relying on 'stimulus' spending and debt, our plan creates a better environment for job creation in America by stopping job-crushing Washington rules, cutting unnecessary spending, and ending the Washington spending binge, which is hampering job creation by eroding confidence in our economy, crowding out private investment, and adding to the uncertainty small businesses face.

    "I hope President Obama will listen to the people, abandon his 'stimulus' spending binge, and work with us on this new approach, which reflects the will of the American people -- and unlike the 'stimulus' approach to job creation -- will actually work."
