Energy And Environment Bills The largest number of bills are aimed at deregulating the energy sector. Republicans claim this would promote job creation by saving companies a lot of money they now spend complying with federal rules. … Tax Cut Bills Several of the jobs bills would institute tax cuts across a range of policy areas. While these measures would, like environmental deregulation, leave more cash in the hands of businesses and households, they are not guaranteed to create jobs, either. … Education Bills Boehners list includes four bills that purport to create jobs while addressing problems in the education sector. Cecilia Rouse, an education economist and the dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, said that not one of them would cause the kind of immediate ratcheting up of growth that Republicans envision. … Welfare Bills Two of the jobs bills would allegedly help economic growth by reshaping welfare policy. One is the Paul Ryan budget, a proposal that economists have said would not only harm poorer Americans but also hinder job creation by depressing demand in the economy. … Bills To Repeal The Affordable Care Act Given how active the GOP has been in describing the presidents health care plan as a job killer that hurts businesses and allows people to avoid work because they dont need employer-provided insurance, its no surprise that Republicans count bills that would repeal or gut the policy as a way to create jobs. … Business Deregulation Bills Some of Boehners bills would reduce oversight of businesses beyond the energy sector. A prime example is the Small Business Capital Access and Job Preservation Act, which would exempt certain private equity funds from Securities and Exchange Commission registration and reporting requirements. Cutting these “unnecessary regulations that inhibit investments of private capital into small businesses” would allegedly create jobs. #Conservatives #Corporatism #IncomeGap #WageDeflation #Propaganda #EnergyReform #Environment
