Congressional and Senate Western Caucuses Weekly Address -- Congressman Denny Rehberg (R-MT)

Think about this: If government spending was the key to job creation and economic growth, shouldn't the record spending of the last two years have correspondingly resulted in record low unemployment and record economic prosperity?

But it hasn't. In fact, quite the opposite; the more the government spends, the worse the economy gets. It's time to try something different.

The Congressional Western Caucus has a bipartisan plan. It's called the "Jobs Frontier" and it's an outline of legislation Congress can pass right now in support of creating good-paying American jobs.

We've scrapped the failed idea that the federal government creates jobs. Instead, we understand that while ineffective, inefficient government can destroy jobs, job creation comes from empowering the engine of our economy: small businesses.
