Where Are the Jobs, Mr. President?
Abigail White /
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) is convinced that President Obama has no viable plan to revive the economy and reduce unemployment. Two years after the failed stimulus and a year since the administration’s “summer of recovery,” the unemployment rate now stands at 9.1 percent.
Without much hope coming from the White House, Hensarling said lawmakers in Congress are forging ahead with an agenda focused on job creation.
“Issues of spending and jobs are inextricably linked,” said Hensarling, who spoke at this week’s Bloggers Briefing at Heritage. “The greatest impediment to job growth today is not a lack of capital; it’s a lack of confidence. Lack of confidence in all of the president’s policies.”
