This is not the solution America needs. This is simply Washington doing what Washington does best—maintaining the status quo. Passage of this bill does not solve the true fiscal cliff that we face. Americans need and deserve a bolder plan t...hat addresses the real drivers of our debt, which are crippling the next generation. Forcing higher taxes on Americans, while not seriously tackling Washington’s runaway spending, will not turn our economy around, create jobs or solve our debt crisis. It also does not represent the balanced approach promised by President Obama to the American people.

“Among his key legislative priorities will be keeping transportation budgets balanced and positioning Florida's ports to be a national transportation ...hub that generates economic growth. 'The number one concern in Central Florida is the creation of jobs and getting our economy rolling again,' Webster said. ''Whatever we can do, including providing for infrastructure to make that happen is something that is very, very important to me and our Central Florida communities. ... One of the more important things in creating jobs and getting our economy rolling is making sure we have infrastructure that is there is support whatever businesses we attract to Florida."

- The unemployment rate appears better for all the wrong reasons. The high rate of unemployment that continues to plague our nation is a direct cause of the failed policies and politics of Washington. While the creation of 146,000 jobs is welcome, it is a job creation rate that struggles to keep necessary pace with our population growth. Our problems are further highlighted by an additional 540,000 ...people who are not in the workforce. Economic growth requires job growth. Our nation’s economy will not recover unless lawmakers work together on solutions that spur economic growth and encourage businesses to hire.
The mixed signals of the past few months of unemployment numbers reveal a sluggish recovery that is in serious jeopardy of falling back into another recession. No matter what category you put people in, there are simply too many of them not working. The best gift that Washington could give unemployed Americans this season is the certainty of what our nation’s job creators will face in next year’s economy. This means ending the brinksmanship surrounding the looming fiscal cliff, and committing to addressing Washington’s unsustainable debt that continues to put the next generation at risk. It’s time the President quit campaigning and join the House and Senate to work toward a compromise on solutions for the betterment of all Americans by developing a plan that will create jobs and bolster our nation’s economic recovery.See More - On the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, may we remember the fortitude of those who stood post in Oahu and recognize the Greatest Generation who answered the call to service in the days that followed. These 71 years later, their sacrifice and commitment has not been extinguished and continues shining through the spirit of this great nation.
