Marathon Pundit: Weekly GOP Address with Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska on job creation

Today's Weekly GOP Address comes from Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska.

As we know, small business creates most of the jobs in this nation.

One of the worst parts of ObamaCare was the 1099 mandate that would have burdened the job creators with accounting red tape.

From Johanns' speech:

Job creators found themselves saddled with a mountain of costly new paperwork due to this part of the health care law. Repealing it opened the door to hiring by closing the door on new accounting red tape that businesses would have faced. Since then, I've heard directly from small business owners, thanking us for removing this stumbling block to growth, for saving them time and money, and for getting big government out of the way of small business.

1099 repeal was a big victory for our small businesses and our economy, but there's so much more to do. The red tape and the bureaucracy continue to pile up from this Administration. . . . [President Obama's] administration has proposed or enacted more than 250 regulations amounting to more than $24 billion dollars in regulatory costs. And again, that's just since January.
