Jobs In Michigan | Gop: Abandon Health Care, Focus On Jobs
Jobs dominated a high-powered roundtable on “Face the Nation” Sunday, as had the topic filled President Obama’s State of the Union address Wednesday.
Senator John Thune, R-S.D., said that the best domestic policy would be to stop debate on health care and instead focus on helping small businesses.
“[T]he best thing that we could do with respect to jobs is put that massive health care expansion on the shelf, work on measures that actually do reduce health care costs for small businesses, make it clear to small businesses that we’re not going to raise their taxes in the middle of a recession,” Thune told moderator and Chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer.
He also argued that TARP funds should no longer be used primarily for economic stimulus, and rather redirected to tax relief for such businesses.
