Peter Roskam: Creating Jobs‏

From the office of Rep. Peter Roskam (Ill, 6th District)…

America needs real solutions that will help private-sector businesses grow and create jobs. Yet, even with 9+ percent unemployment, Democrats continue to force Washington-imposed excessive regulations on our economy.

The disappointing reality is that what may seem like a faceless regulation to most actually has a devastating effect on our local economy and our everyday lives. Read my latest op-ed in the Chicago Sun-Times about the severe effects of what excessive Washington-imposed regulations are doing to Chicago-area jobs.

From a third-generation Bensenville manufacturer struggling to keep up with seemingly endless EPA regulations to a Chicago-based worldwide plane manufacturer blocked from simply doing business in a right-to-work state by an unelected labor board, the message from local job creators is clear and resounding: Washington’s excessive regulations are hurting our economy.

Appropriate and responsible regulations play an important role, but these excessive regulations, written by unelected bureaucrats, have become an assault on American business and the jobs they create. America deserves better.

Sincerely,

Peter
