Rep. Steve Scalise Says Moratorium on Deepwater Exploration is Killing Jobs

Job creation is the number one priority of the American people, yet the policies being pursued by Washington Democrats are actually impairing job growth. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the Gulf coast where President Obama's imprudent moratorium on deepwater energy exploration has needlessly left thousands without work in a region already struggling from the effects of the BP tragedy. On top of the painful job losses, this ban on energy exploration here at home stands to increase our dependency on foreign oil and raise energy costs for all Americans. Continuing a week focused on solutions for Job Creation on AmericaSpeakingOut.com, Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise is calling for an end to the moratorium so Gulf coast residents can get back to work. Rep. Scalise today posted his idea on AmericaSpeakingOut.com for all Americans to debate. That idea and a message from the Congressman can be found below.
