Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner used his time at the Economic Club on September 15 to deliver a major speech outlining his vision of the course that must be adopted to resolve the economic and job crisis currently gripping the country. In his remarks, Speaker Boehner focused on a theme of liberating “America’s economy from government policies that are stifling private-sector job creation.” He also attacked what he deemed “short-term fixes and gimmicks that are labeled ‘job creation’ by politicians, but which actually impede economic growth.” The Speaker gave this speech just one week after President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress to present his plan for confronting the same challenges.
