Speaker of the House John Boehner stands with the dozens of jobs bills the Republican House has passed in a new video released by his office:
REP. JOHN BOEHNER: Friday’s unemployment report was a real punch in the gut. Americans are once again left asking the question, "Where are the jobs?" Republicans have pledged to listen, we’ve pledged to act, and we have. These are many of the nearly 30 jobs bills that have passed the House, but are currently stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate. These aren’t big, controversial bills that no one has read—they’re practical, commonsense proposals to help small businesses create jobs and build a stronger economy for all Americans. These are bills here that cut taxes for small businesses, implement an all-of-the-above energy strategy, rein in excessive regulations, repeal the health care law that’s making it harder to hire new workers, and there are bills to tackle the long-term debt that’s hurting job creation and threatening our future. This isn’t just our work—it’s our work in progress. You see, we’re going to keep adding to this pile, and we’re going to keep calling on President Obama and Senate Democrats to give these jobs bills a vote.
