Newhouse: President Biden’s Job-Killing Policies are Hurting American Workers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) released the following statement after President Biden's tax-and-spend policies led to a dismally low jobs report for April:

"Today's abysmal jobs report proves what we already know: President Biden's policies are hurting American workers. Instating higher taxes and regulations on American businesses is sabotaging our ability to get Americans back to work. President Biden has released one tax proposal after another, each one more radical than the last. Raising taxes on working families to pay into his false narrative of helping the American people is disingenuous. The ‘COVID' package lacks public health funding, and the ‘infrastructure' package fails to sufficiently fund our roads and bridges.

These jobs numbers are a direct result of the far-left's policies. By keeping our businesses shuttered and our schools closed, progressive Democrat leaders are making it impossible for Americans to revitalize our communities. To make matters worse, many of our local businesses simply can't find the labor they need because federal unemployment ‘benefits' discourage workers from returning to the workplace and hinder the recovery of our local economies.

It is unacceptable that our local businesses, who are ready to revitalize and invest in our Central Washington communities, are being held hostage by President Biden's job-killing policies. Maybe today's report will finally open the eyes of this Administration to the iniquities they're ravaging on our working families and small businesses."
