REPUBLICAN AGENDA FOR 2011

  • They ran on a campaign pledge to grow the economy, put Americans back to work


By boosting economic growth through new tax incentives to unlock needed venture-capital investment for start-up firms, and lowering tax burdens for all business, workers and investors. Don't expect more of Obama's spending stimulus plan, which dumped hundreds of billions of dollars into government spending that disappeared into a black hole and created few jobs

Starting or expanding businesses takes money from risk-taking entrepreneurs. We need to enact tax policies that offer incentives for new capital formation, like cutting the capital-gains tax

The way to ensure these important goals are met is to adopt lower tax rates, open new markets through free-trade agreements, lower energy costs by expanding domestic access ... and curtail burdensome and overreaching regulations that stifle growth.

U.S. moratoriums on offshore drilling have pushed gas prices to over $3 a gallon.

An economic-growth and job-creation bill is being worked on as well and will be one of the first pieces of legislation Republicans will bring to the House floor early next year.


  • apply the brakes on reckless spending, apply the brakes on reckless spiraling debt


House Republican leaders say they are combing the budget for big spending cuts to come as soon as Obama submits his spending proposals. Over at the House Financial Services Committee, they've already begun going through the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law "provision by provision."
