Job Creators Needed: The Raese Plan for Private Sector Stimulation
Campaign 2010 Analysis: The Raese/Manchin U.S. Senate Race
By Huntingtonnews.net Staff
John Raese preaches his economic gospel everywhere he stops along the
campaign trail in West Virginia this year. After all, West Virginia's unemployment
rate doubled last year and continues to be near ten percent. As the old saying
goes, when the nation catches a cold economically, West Virgina contracts pneumonia.
To date, Raese is the only candidate in the U.S. Senate race in West Virginia to have put out, from the very beginning of his campaign, a detailed plan for job creation across the Mountain State.
"The Raese Plan for Private Sector Job Creation" can be found on the candidate's website at www.raeseforsenate.org. Raese's main theme is that the private sector, whether in the form of large companies or small businesses, need capital to invest and grow jobs. Plus, they need a steady, predictable business climate so as to develop an effective business plan moving forward.
According to Raese, Americans--through their federal and state legislators--must take three simple but important steps to get us out of this recession:
Unshackle our businesses, small and large, eliminating unnecessary regulation and taxes. Raese believes West Virginia businesses will respond by increasing their production, services, and, most importantly now, hiring new workers;
Attack big government spending, especially those projects which are designed merely to help re-elect incumbent members of Congress;
Protect and stimulate American competitiveness, by fostering a dynamic business environment that helps U.S. companies win in the global marketplace. This includes fair trade practices with other countries.
"Look, people are saying that we've tried the big government approach with the
Obama Administration," said Jack Ellis, Senior Political Analyst for Huntingtonnews.net.
"And we sure didn't get many jobs out of that trillion dollar Stimulus Bill. Raese's plan
to increase jobs through stimulating the private sector looks very attractive. After all,
we all know that the best jobs come from the private sector, not the government."
"Plus, Raese is up front about where he'll find the money for cutting individual and business taxes," said Ellis. "He pays for any tax cuts to individuals or businesses by saying up front that certain elements of the federal bureaucracy should be reduced or eliminated."
"Raese knows that the kind of signficant cuts in federal spending can only be done when the people give their assent," said Ellis. "He's not talking about entitlement spending on key items like Medicare or Social Security, not at all."
"But when it comes to federal agencies like the Department of Education, which does very little for our state educational program, would we really miss it?" said Ellis. "The only ones who wouldn't go for that kind of cut are the federal bureaucrats who pull down six figure salaries who work in D.C."
"If a few bureacrats lose their jobs to allow a greater economic engine to start running again in the private sector again, I think most people are willing to make that trade," said Ellis. "It's time to try something new. The Obama and Manchin approach just hasn't cut it. It's as simple as that."
