Dent, Holden Vote For BiPartisan JOBS Act

Failed small business in Nazareth
Designed to help small business and start-ups, the House voted overwhelmingly (390-23) for the JOBS Act late last week. Locally, it was supported by both Charlie Dent and Tim Holden.

Following his vote, LV Congressman Charlie Dent released the following statement: “Small businesses will play a pivotal role in our nation’s economic recovery and the JOBS Act is the kind of support these job creators should expect from Washington. Easing burdensome regulatory requirements and expanding access to capital will undoubtedly increase the ability of small businesses in the 15th District and across the country to grow and flourish. I am hopeful the overwhelming bipartisan support this legislation received in the House illustrates a commitment to advancing policies that help revive our economy and get more Americans back to work. It is imperative the Senate not delay its consideration of H.R. 3606 and work diligently to approve the measure.”

    Might want to check the spending plan proposed by Rand Paul and others. Small business is not going to get us out of trillions of dollars of debt. We are in deep trouble and we need to recognize that now.

    Of the 400 plus members only 23 voted against. Not if the votes was 276-275 that would be significant.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
