House Republicans recently unveiled A Plan for America’s Job Creators, a job creation plan that builds on the Pledge to America and ongoing GOP efforts to spur private-sector job growth. Click here for some of the highlights of the plan, and click here to see photos from the plan roll-out and other recent events: Republicans Are Focused on Spurring Private Sector Job Growth & Ending the Uncertainty Caused by Democrats’ Binge of Spending, Taxing, Borrowing, & Regulating : Since day one, Republicans have been focused on jobs. Republicans proposed A Plan for America’s Job Creators, passed a budget to pay down our debt and prevent tax hikes, made it easier to cut spending, and are focused on ending the uncertainty facing small businesses. The Obama Administration’s failed economic policies have piled more debt on the backs of our kids and grandkids, blocked American energy production that would help lower gas prices, and failed to deliver on the promise of more American jobs. In fact, in the two years since the ‘stimulus’ spending bill was enacted, a total of 1.5 million jobs have been lost and the unemployment rate has averaged 9.5 percent. Now the Democrats running Washington want to raise the debt limit without cutting spending, but when given the chance many voted against their own proposal. Here’s why. More than 150 economists signed a statement saying raising the debt limit without making significant spending cuts would threaten jobs. Moody’s Investors Service released a report reinforcing this point. Stanford economist John B. Taylor argued in the Wall Street Journal that linking spending cuts to the debt limit as Republicans have done is good for job growth. Speaker Boehner said this week, “If we’re serious about creating jobs in America, we can’t raise taxes on the very people who create jobs, and keep spending money that we don’t have.” Democrats’ Plan for Medicare: Let it Go Bankrupt, Guarantee Benefit Cuts for Seniors : Democrats' plan for Medicare is to do nothing. That means, according to the most recent Medicare Trustees report, Medicare will be bankrupt by 2024 – five years earlier than expected. To deflect attention from their Medicare bankruptcy plan, Democrats have launched a series of “Mediscare” attacks on the Republican plan that fact-checking groups and editorial boards call “scaremongering” and “simply not true.” Here’s a comparison of the Democratic and Republican plans. The Republican plan – “The Path to Prosperity” – protects Medicare for current retirees and future generations (while spurring private-sector job growth and stopping Washington from spending money it doesn’t have).
