OHSen: Portman answers questions

The Daily Caller's S.E. Cupp poses eight questions to Rob Portman, the Republican candidate for Ohio's US Senate seat. Here are a couple of them:

SE: You're put in charge of national unemployment. What do you do?

RP: Change directions. Immediately redirect remaining stimulus dollars to create 4-5 million jobs by enacting a one year suspension of the payroll tax on the first $50,000 of income – puts more money in peoples' pockets and helps employers invest in expansion and jobs. End the TARP bail out and direct all repaid dollars to pay down the record national debt to show we are serious about getting our fiscal house in order. Ease the uncertainty that employers and job creators feel right now by stopping the job-killing proposals like card check, the new energy tax, tax increases on small businesses, and burdensome regulations and correcting the health care bill.

SE: What's your favorite work of fiction, and why?

RP: Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher's campaign ads.
