If you get the government off our back, there's no economy in the world that can create more jobs in the long-term for everybody.

Well, our economy is very strong and growing. We have created 5.4 million new jobs in the last 3 years. Our unemployment rate is better than the average unemployment rate of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

Listen, I think what's best for the economy and to create jobs is to extend all of the current tax rates - for all Americans. It - it begins to reduce the uncertainty. And for small businesspeople, they can look up and begin to plan.

It's pretty clear that over the last three months the economy has paused. And it's also pretty clear the American people are still demanding and asking the question, 'Where are the jobs?' And the reason we don't have new jobs is because of the job-killing agenda pursued by President Obama and his allies in the Congress.

Government does not create jobs, but it can help set the table for economic growth with the right policies.

It takes about two and a half percent growth just to keep unemployment stable.

This majority is working for America, and one of those ways is we have tremendously low unemployment. This economy has created millions of new jobs, and we are expecting growth this first quarter of somewhere higher than 4 percent.

Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs.

Job growth well in excess of population increase would be a very good thing if it were only that easy.
