What is the Republicans Job Creating strategy?

The Republicans took control of the house based on their promise to create jobs and shrink the Government. So far, it seems that they have focused mainly on curtailing union rights and abortion rights. Is there any legislation proposed so far that is specifically designed to create more jobs?

Please link me to it.

Update:

Interesting answer Billy. So the Governments hand was Ok to be "in the market" as long as it was providing taxpayer money to save the markets from going belly up. Now you think further derugulation will free up big business to finally bring back the jobs that were lost? Am I reading you right? It looks like a lot of you Repubs still buy in to the proposition that if corporation are just allowed to do as they wish, they will start handing out jobs again. "If the government will just let us rape the land and exploit the workers, we will bring the jobs back." So many of you have forgotten the record expansion of the US economy under Clinton. Higher taxes on the wealthy are off limits, why?

    Can you clarify? Exactly, which country are we talking about them creating jobs in? They've created lots of jobs...just not in the U.S. But, don't worry. Some day, maybe not too far down the road, we will be the cheap labor market! Then the jobs will come back.

    That's the plan. Taken right from an old movie. The rich get richer and the poor move to Mexico where they can have a better life.

    Very efficient because of the fact that's the certainty. Your persecution of former President Bush crosses the border of undemanding decency, rational theory and is definitely insane. What do you individuals ought to tutor which you have achieved that has helped human beings interior the final 2 years? in basic terms difficulty i will see is the removal of Osama - reliable job that, whether that's the only difficulty that's reliable, each and everything else has harmed us lots greater desirable than helped us. definite, your greatest enemy isn't we republicans, that's the certainty, the completed certainty and not something however the certainty. a number of people right here have mentioned "because of the fact the republicans have been on top of issues" Sorry, that doesn't wash once you individuals administration obama and the senate. in basic terms difficulty we administration is the abode and you block each and everything reliable we attempt to end. extreme high quality attempt, yet lies will value you dearly come 2012.

    Jobs are an after thought. It was really all about passive income earners. 2 trillion being sat on by corporations yet Republicans still insist what we lack is a sufficient amount of free capital.

    The liberal lame stream bias` media doesn`t report these stories , which means that they keep liberals uninformed ! Libs ask questions without knowing or checking out the facts ! *** Frustrated by the Obama administration’s slow pace in restarting offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after the Deep water Horizon accident last year, ***Republicans in Congress have proposed a range of bills to ""force the administration*** to accelerate the granting of drilling permits and open new offshore areas to oil and gas exploration.""

    ...... thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/677-e2-wire/​152263-overnight...

    Republican Representative Doc Hastings is sponsoring three bills that would rewrite offshore drilling rules.The new drilling measures are part of a concerted Republican effort to undercut or reverse the administration’s energy and environmental policies. Republicans in the Senate and House are moving on bills to strip the Environmental Protection Agency of its authority to regulate climate-altering gases and are using pending budget measures to limit enforcement of a variety of other environmental laws.

    Representative Doc Hastings, the Washington Republican who heads the House Natural Resources Committee, introduced three measures on Tuesday that would rewrite the rules governing offshore drilling now in effect to force the administration to move more quickly on applications for new wells off the coasts.

    One Republican bill would open vast areas of the gulf and the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans that are now off-limits to oil development. Another would set a 30-day time limit for the interior secretary to act on applications for new wells. A third would require the Interior Department to hold lease sales in the Gulf and off the coast of Virginia in 2011, sales that were halted by the administration while it undertook an extensive review of safety and environmental conditions under which drilling would be allowed.

    “These bills will directly reverse Obama administration actions that have locked up America’s vast offshore oil and natural gas resources,” Mr. Hastings said in a statement. “The bills will end the de facto moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico and allow people to return to work, require lease sales to be held that were canceled or delayed by the Obama administration, and lift the Obama administration’s ban on new offshore drilling by directing production to occur in areas with the most oil and natural gas resources.”

    “In contrast to the president’s ‘drill nowhere new’ plan,” he said “this is a ‘drill smart’ plan.”

    “With thousands unemployed in the gulf region and gasoline prices nearing $4 per gallon,” Mr. Hastings continued, “swift action must be taken to reverse course and increase U.S. energy production.”

    He said that he and other Republicans would soon be introducing other energy bills to encourage faster development of onshore oil drilling, coal, renewable energy and hydroelectric power.

    “”In contrast to the president’s ‘drill nowhere new’ plan, this is a ‘drill smart’ plan.”

    — Representative Doc Hastings, Republican of Washington ; adds

    , Similar measures are expected to be filed in the Senate later this week. Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, criticized President Obama in a floor speech on Tuesday, saying that the president’s policies had shut off the flow of domestic oil and driven up gasoline prices. ************He said that E.P.A. plans to regulate carbon dioxide emissions would further ""increase energy costs and eliminate"" thousands of jobs.*************

    He also excoriated the president for praising Brazil’s offshore oil industry, saying that the United States would be an eager customer for that country’s resources even as he closed off millions of acres of domestic lands and waters to oil and gas development.

    “You can’t make this stuff up,” Mr. McConnell said.

    Source(s): What the liberal lame stream bias` media doesn`t tell the liberals exposes their liberal bias` in all issues ! Of course the liberal lame stream bias` media would not make this a headline or a story because it show Republicans presenting real JOBs` Bills` ! They want to continue to keep their liberal followers in the abyss of either misinformation , and / or no information !
