twitter.com The Empire State Building took 7 million man hours to build. 225000 Toyota Camrys (just 63% of US production last year) take 6.3 million man hours to build. Every iPhone ever sold (146 million) took only 5.5 million man hours to build. For perspective, the 2300 pages of new rules and regulations from the Dodd-Frank Act will require 10.2 million man hours in compliance time on American job creators. The simple truth is over-regulation steals time from American innovation, and equally as important, it steals jobs from American workers.

twitter.com In a time when small business owners and hardworking families are facing unprecedented economic uncertainty, Washington must look for ways to cut wasteful spending and ease the costly, regulatory burden on American job creators. Over Regulation is hurting our economy and holding back the private sector from creating new jobs, and as a matter of principle, we need to REPEAL, REDUCE, & REIGN-IN job-destroying regulations.

Independent financial advisor Joe Krier of Krier Wealth Management discusses President Obama’s plan to increase exports and create new jobs in his WJXT Channel 4 interview broadcast on July 7, 2010
There has been much chatter on mainstream media that there are plenty of “other” jobs out there that people don’t know about. However, data does not support the praises economists are singing about the “New Economy.” Paul Craig Roberts says the “New Economy” is supposed to consist of financial services, innovation, and high-tech services but unfortunately these jobs have not come to fruition and the US government has betrayed its people.
twitter.com For years, President Obama has declared his intentions to cut spending, create jobs, and bring change to Washington. Now, using Twitter, you have a chance to ask Obama exactly when and how he plans to do all that. Use the Twitter hashtag, #askobama, in your tweets. For more information about how Republicans are supporting policies than foster an environment for real job creation and a revitalized economy, visit www.gop.gov and financialservices.house.gov
