GOP Plans Weekly Votes To Repeal "Job-Destroying Regulations," New Tax Cuts

In a memo to Republican lawmakers, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) outlined his caucus' plans for the fall — including almost weekly votes to repeal so-called ""Job-Destroying Regulations."

While the "Super Committee" focuses on $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction, Cantor says the House will "continue our focus on the jobs crisis."

Beginning in the week of September 12th, the chamber will take up legislation restricting the National Labor Relations Board's ability to restrict where employers create jobs — a response to the ongoing litigation over Boeing's new South Carolina production facility.

The House will also seek to delay some of President Barack Obama's new emissions regulations for power plants, boilers, and cement production plans — which Cantor says cost jobs.

Cantor adds that the chamber will also consider a 20 percent small business tax deduction, as well as repealing a rule requiring government entities to withhold 3 percent of pay to vendors to encourage them to comply with tax laws.

My point exactly. The House is enough to kill a program. And they haven’t.
