Washington, DC – Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) released the following statement Thursday, September 8, 2011, in response to President Obama’s jobs speech to Congress:

“I appreciate the president’s speech tonight and his focus on the most important issue facing our nation - jobs and the economy.  Unfortunately, I am concerned that the president’s proposals follow the previous pattern of borrowing and spending. We have learned we cannot create a growing economy by spending more money in Washington and creating uncertainty for job creators.  

“Our jobs agenda must be centered on supporting our nation’s small businesses and removing the burdensome regulations coming out of Washington.  I hope we can find common ground to get our country back on track and restore America’s competitive edge.”
