Increased spending, growing government debt and overreaching regulations are stifling job creation and economic growth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The economy needs thriving, job-creating small businesses, but excessive and ill-considered regulations too often get in the way of growth.
Increased jobs are the consequence of increased trade. Increasing jobs more than output implies a fall in productivity and standards of living. That surely cannot be our goal.
Chronic deficits drastically reduce government's ability to make those infrastructure investments that business needs to grow and create jobs.
Experience tells us that we do not need more overspending or higher taxes to grow jobs. We do not need more regulations or more government control - such as the government takeover of health care or the restrictions in domestic energy production.
Spending on largely ineffective programs - although well intentioned - is a detriment to fostering real job growth.
The Obama administration's large and sustained increases in debt raise the specter of another financial crisis and large future tax increases, further chilling business investment and job creation.
The economic costs, the financial costs, the job losses, the income losses, the fiscal costs of bailing out financial system are becoming larger and larger.
Higher taxes kill jobs. Regulations kill jobs.
Growth makes so many dimensions of management easier. It's when growth stops that things get tough.
Government spending is being restrained, the economy is making progress and moving forward, and the pro-growth, tax cutting policies put in place have allowed businesses to grow, which has brought in additional tax revenue to help pay off the debt.
