The time is right to do what the American people want us to do, focus on the private sector, jobs, and real stimulus.

We have the House, we should begin to play offense now.

The House should propose stimulative measures to revive the economy.

Suggestions:

First pass legislation that begins to remove regulatory obstacles to drilling for oil-in the Gulf, our coasts, plus Alaska.

Lower cap gains to 5% to aid commercial real estate, investing, risk-taking, and thus construction.

Reduce corporate rate on repatriated foreign profits for domestic firms to 15%. Nearly $800 billion could come back home.

All these measures are free lunches-meaning that they would increase economic activity while also increasing revenues to the treasury.

Whether we can get them through the Senate or not is irrelevant, let’s let the American people see that we have solutions, and make the Democrats play defense.

Exactly we need our "Leadership" to quit being so weak. They continually look to the White House and the Senate for direction. Past time for them to start passing good legislation and make the 0 Dems explain their opposition to the voters
