The Jobs Through Growth Act, which builds upon the good work already done by House Republicans, is all about keeping America open for business. It cuts through red tape. It makes the tax code simpler, flatter, and fairer. It tears down barriers to energy production and helps lower the price of gas. In short, it creates jobs by growing the economy – not the government.

With each passing day our nation’s fiscal health gets worse, leaving our children and grandchildren falling further into debt. Democrats seem to have given up, proposing even more borrowing in response to our massive debt addiction. With the problem growing larger every day, we must move quickly and unite behind a plan to cut spending and get our budget into balance.

The RSC Budget, which gets us from trillion-dollar deficits to balance in just nine years, builds on the House Budget Committee’s groundbreaking FY2012 proposal and puts us on track to fiscal sanity in America.

H.R. 1167, the Welfare Reform Act of 2011, builds on the reforms of 1996 by requiring food stamp recipients to either work or prepare for a job, helping them to become independent of government assistance.

The President claims there’s “not much we can do” in the short-term to provide consumers with relief from high gas prices. The RSC disagrees. There are conservative solutions that will not only drive down the cost of gas in the short-term, but also create a more stable marketplace for gasoline for decades to come.
