Congressman Doug Lamborn issued the following statement in reaction to President Obama's speech before a joint session of Congress.

“Like all Americans, I support the President’s goal to create more jobs. But I reject his big government solutions. I favor pro-growth policies that will allow business owners to invest with confidence and hire more workers. One common-sense place to start is by rolling back burdensome regulations.

“Among the hundreds of new regulatory actions the Obama Administration is considering for the upcoming year, 219 would have an estimated cost to our economy of $100 million or more. I hope President Obama is willing to address those.

“The President’s engagement on this critical issue is long overdue. I look forward to seeing a written plan that can be independently reviewed for cost.”– Doug Lamborn (CO-05)

Note:

House Republican Plan for America’s Job Creators is designed to address our economic challenges, foster innovation and investment, and help job creators without raising taxes on working families and small business owners.   

House-passed jobs bills could immediately help spur job creation, but have stalled in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
