And here are the prepared remarks from Boehner's website:
In an address to the Economic Club of Washington today, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) will call for bipartisan action to “Liberate America’s Economy” from the shackles of excessive regulation, higher taxes, and out-of-control spending that are stifling private-sector economic growth and job creation. Here is a preview:
- President’s Proposal Offers “Opportunities for Common Ground,” But No Substitute for What’s Needed “To Remove Barriers to Job Creation.” “Boehner will say that while the House will consider Obama’s proposals -- some of which offer opportunities for common ground -- they are no substitute for the pro-growth policies needed to remove barriers to job creation in America. He will discuss the GOP’s ‘Plan for America’s Job Creators,’ which is focused on streamlining and reforming the tax code, stopping regulations, and cutting Washington spending.” (NBC News, 9/15/11)
- “Key to Jump Starting Growth is to Get Government Out of the Way.” “Boehner’s policy prescriptions are expected to mirror the Republican Party's long-running position that the key to jump starting growth is to get government out of the way and allow the private sector to do its thing. That means less regulation, lower taxes and big reductions in government spending.” (CNN, 9/15/11)
- “Tax Increases…Are Not An Option.” “[B]oehner will prod the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction lower the corporate rate and close loopholes — the preferred GOP method for cleaning up the nation’s tax system. Tax increases, Boehner will say, are not an option as they seek to close a gaping $14 trillion budget hole.” (Politico, 9/15/11)
- No More “‘Short-Term Gimmicks’ That Could Worsen the Environment for Job Creators.” “The Republican plan is focused on streamlining the tax code, stopping ‘harmful regulations’ and cutting federal spending…In a rebuke to some ideas in Democrat Obama’s plan, the speaker, an Ohio Republican, will also say that Congress shouldn’t focus on ‘short-term gimmicks’ that could worsen the environment for job creation.” (Bloomberg, 9/15/11)
- “Address the Structural Problems” That Put America “In Danger of More Job-Destroying Downgrades.” “The speaker is also expected to explain his belief that the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction ‘should advance fundamental tax reform to support private investment and job creation, and address the structural problems in our entitlement programs that have put our country in danger of more job-destroying downgrades.’” (ABC News, 9/15/11)
In his address, Speaker Boehner will describe a path forward for Congress and the President to work together to seek common ground on proposals to remove barriers to private-sector job growth, such as those the new House majority has already put forward with the Plan for America’s Job Creators.

jaw boner doesnt like taxes hahahahahaha
Hey sounds like MR BONER is sounding like a responsible republican with a tint of Ron Paul. He must be scared for his reelection. Atleast this mouthpiece is better than the previous 2 or 3.
boner steals from widows and orphans and gives it to buffett.
do you really want those jobs back ?
I got rid of my Job years ago and haven't looked back since.
Most Jobs are doing more harm than good and are no more than slave labour.
I got better things to to do with my time than to waste it on a Job...
Life is too short for wasting your time
wr;)
Boehner is nothing but a corporate puppet that cries real tears... protect the wealthy, blame and steal from the poor and middle class. Four years (nothing will change) of nothing but political games, with obstruction and appeasing right wing social demagogues to show for it... pathetic.
Boehner protects the wealthy and the poor from tax increases. That is what individual liberty is all about.
But you just want to rationalize taking money from others to spend on you. You are just another socialist. Sorry. The world is leaving you behind. Get a job, loser.
America: "Give us jobs, Obama!"
Obama: "Ok. Here's a jobs plan that will create literally tens of thousands of jobs and help preserve existing jobs."
GOP: "We refuse to pass this plan that will create jobs! We also refuse to propose our own jobs plan."
Congress needs to stop dragging their feet on creating jobs. It is time.
Come on, the Republican solution to everything is "cut taxes", which has worked like a charm for the last ten years?
The President and his cabinet's "job" is to remove impediments to job creation?
Don't the lawmakers have a role in this?
Hmmm...interresting, anyone catch his comment at about 46:46 when he said "You need to play the hand that your are delt, life is like a poker game. You have to play the hand that you are delt. It would be great to be delt 5 aces every time but that doesn't always happen." HUH!!! What!?!?! 5 aces? The poker games I attend, you lay down 5 aces you better be ready to be dragged out into the alley out behind of the building and get your ass kicked. What kind of card decks is he using that has 5 aces? Let me think Spades, Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, am I missing something. I guess that is why I am just a dumb fucking tax payer, I was always playing the game with decks that only had 4 aces! See damn politicians, can't play fair at any game...
Maybe he meant he was dealt 4 aces, and Obama- the Joker?
