Jobs and the Economy

Unnecessary and burdensome regulations have hindered economic growth and job creation in America. That is why I am fighting for smarter, pro-growth policies that get government out of the way and help small businesses expand and hire new workers. In fact, I have supported overturning numerous regulations written by unelected bureaucrats who do not understand the negative consequences of the rules they wrote.
Michigan has a talented workforce and world-leading manufacturing base, and we can keep it that way by promoting opportunities in the skilled trades. I am committed to ensuring residents have the opportunity to learn career and technical skills that are vital to applying for good-paying jobs.

"This legislation does nothing to address the serious concerns of Michigan families and seniors who are dealing with higher prices for home heating, gas, and food. Inflation is at the highest levels in four decades, supply chain problems continue, and Biden’s spending has made all of these problems worse,” said Congressman Moolenaar. "We must stop Biden’s spending, unleash American energy production and get the country back on track. When Republicans led the House of Representatives, we had a strong economy, low inflation, and affordable energy. We can do this again with a budget that works for American families.”

"Michigan families and seniors are struggling to afford the essentials as President Biden's inflation crisis continues. They have been forced to spend hundreds more each month to cover the cost of living in Biden's economy," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "Worst of all, while Michigan families were paying more to put food on the table, Biden decided to stick them with the bill for the college debts run up by other people. This is wrong, and I will continue to oppose Biden’s failed economic policies.”

"This new legislation I am supporting will stop the IRS from hiring 87,000 new employees to comb through the personal finances of the American people,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “Michigan families are hurting because of the recession caused by President Biden and now he is using their hard-earned money to turn around and target them with more IRS agents and audits.”

"Today’s announcement by President Biden takes money from hardworking Michigan families and benefits mostly wealthier Americans who chose to take on debt on their own. Meanwhile, hardworking Michigan residents who learned skilled trades and put those skills to work will now be picking up the tab for personal loans taken out by others,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. "It is completely unfair to the many Americans who worked hard and already paid back their loans. All of us will be paying a price for this Biden policy as it will increase inflation and the cost for goods and services.”

"President Biden lied to Michigan families when he said his massive spending bill would reduce inflation. Independent experts have now confirmed Biden's bill will not help and Michigan families will continue to feel pain at the gas pump and the grocery store for months to come. Biden and the Democrats have passed trillions in extra spending and they have left Michigan families behind to deal with the consequences of a recession and soaring inflation," said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"Michigan families are hurting as they deal with the recession and high prices caused by President Biden. Today’s bill doubles down on his failed policies, with higher spending, higher taxes, and bigger government. It slams manufacturers with a $300 billion tax hike, hires 87,000 IRS employees, increases tax audits of hardworking Americans, and raises taxes on American energy," said Moolenaar. "Raising taxes in a recession is wrong and Michigan families should be allowed to keep more of their own money at home."

"America has gone into a recession under President Biden and the historically high inflation has caused Michigan families to spend hundreds of dollars more each month for essential items. On Friday, Biden and the Democrats are planning to ram through a partisan bill that will spend another $700 billion on top of the extra trillions they have already spent in the last 17 months. Michigan families are paying the price for this spending binge and Democrats should immediately abandon Friday’s bill,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“This legislation overspends billions of taxpayer dollars and goes far beyond what is needed for America to lead the world in chip production.” said Congressman John Moolenaar. “With inflation soaring, Democrats added billions of dollars in more spending for federal departments, which will only put the economy at risk of further inflation.”
