Listen: Boehner Talks Job Creation on Celina’s WCSM-FM

Congressman Boehner spoke with Kevin Sandler from Celina’s WCSM-FM on Friday and highlighted what he’s hearing from families and small businesses around our district.  “People are wondering ‘where are the jobs?’” said Boehner. “They’re concerned with all the government spending, all of the debt, and all of the policies coming out of Washington.” Listen to the interview here and check out the key excerpts below:

BOEHNER ON LISTENING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

“One of the underlying issues that you see in the electorate today – the frustration and the anger – really stems from the fact that people think that Washington isn’t listening to them.  As a matter of fact, most Americans think that Washington ignores what they have to say. … Those of us that have the honor of representing people in our country, our job is to listen to them and represent their views and their values.”

BOEHNER ON EMPLOYERS BEING FROZEN WITH ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY

“People are wondering ‘where are the jobs?’ They’re concerned with all the government spending, all of the debt, and all of the policies coming out of Washington. Employers are frozen around America, and until the uncertainty clears, [I don’t believe employers] are going to begin to hire.”

BOEHNER ON THE NEED TO STOP DEMOCRATS’ JOBS-KILLING AGENDA

“I’d like to see more manufacturing jobs in Ohio.  But that’s going to mean changes in the federal government, and that’s going to mean changes in the state government so that we’re not driving employers out of the state, and for that matter out of the country… all of the new regulations they’re talking about coming out of EPA and coming out of the ObamaCare bill and this new financial regulatory bill – all this is going to do is impede job growth, that’s why it has to be stopped.”

BOEHNER ON REPUBLICANS’ BETTER SOLUTIONS

“Over the last 22 months, every time we’ve found ourselves in a position of having to oppose our colleagues we did it on principle, and secondly, we always offered what we thought was a better solution.  Over the summer we did our America Speaking Out project which was to listen to the American people and in late September we rolled out our Pledge to America, it’s about creating jobs in America, it’s about cutting spending in Washington, it’s about repealing and replacing ObamaCare with common-sense reform, it’s also about securing our borders and protecting our national security, and lastly of fixing the way that Congress does its business.”

John led Republicans in launching a “Pledge to America” – a governing agenda built by actually listening to voters – that, as he told Kevin Sandler, is focused on creating new jobs, cutting spending, scrapping ObamaCare, and changing the way Congress works.  Read more about the Pledge here.
