Chairman Issa Praises President Obama’s Effort to Identify Regulatory Impediments to Job Creation

WASHINGTON D.C. – Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, praised President Obama’s call for a “government-wide review of the rules already on the books to remove outdated regulations that stifle job creation and make our economy less competitive.”

“I applaud President Obama for joining what must be an effort that stretches beyond ideological entrenchments to identify the regulatory impediments that have prevented real and sustained job growth in the private sector,” Chairman Issa said. “The anti-business policies of the past have hurt job creators, small and large. It’s in the interest of every American that we create a modern, regulatory environment that fosters economic growth and makes U.S. companies globally competitive. I look forward to providing the President with insights gained from our current effort to hear directly from job creators about what they perceive as barriers standing in the way of their ability to create jobs.”

Chairman Issa is currently seeking the input of job creators about the barriers preventing job creation.
