    Default From Freedomworks. A list of Jobs bills the Republican house has passed

    Here is a list of those Republican "Jobs" bills

    House Passed Jobs Bills


    H.R. 872, the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act

    The bill would amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to clarify that the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or a state may not require a permit under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act for the application of pesticides regulated under FIFRA. The Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act would ensure that pesticide users are not faced with unnecessary regulations that harm job growth.

    H.R. 910, the Energy Tax Prevention Act
    The bill would strip the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of its ability to use the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gases. Without this legislation, the agency will continue with its plan to implement burdensome new rules and regulations on American businesses that will have a significant negative impact on America’s economy while having virtually no positive impact on global temperatures.Click here to see our key vote notice in support of H.R. 910. H. J. Res. 37, Disapproval of FCC’s Net Neutrality Act H.J. Res 37 would prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from imposing net neutrality regulations on Internet providers. Net neutrality is likely to cripple competition, restrict innovation, reduce employment and raise costs for all consumers—all of which would only exacerbate the current economic downturn. These job-killing regulations would involve significant new controls on the Internet that would have significant implications for investing in innovation and broadband deployment.Click here to see our key vote notice in support of H. J. Res. 37. H.R. 2018, the Clean Water Cooperative Federalism ActThe bill would amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to preserve the authority of each State to make determinations relating to the State's water quality standards. This would reduce the federal government’s power over individual state’s water quality standards to help increase job growth.H.R. 1315, Consumer Financial Protection & Soundness Improvement Act This bill is will amend the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to strengthen the review authority of the Financial Stability Oversight Council of regulations issued by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. The increased accountability will help to prevent harmful job-killing regulations.H.R. 2587, Protecting Jobs from Government Interference ActThe bill would prohibit the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) from ordering any employer to close, relocate or transfer employment under any circumstance. Federal bureaucrats should not be reversing the business decisions of private employers. Washington already has too many harmful regulations that hurt job growth. The Protecting Jobs from Government Interference Act would help ensure that the government agency does not over step their bounds by dictating decisions made by private sector companies.Click here to see our key vote notice in support of H.R. 2587. H.R. 2401, Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation (TRAIN ACT)

    The TRAIN Act would establish an 11-member committee, chaired by the Department of Commerce, to analyze the impacts of a number of major Environment Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. The agency often understates the negative impact its rules will have on jobs and energy prices. This is why we need a committee whose sole purpose is to analyze the cumulative impacts of EPA regulations. The TRAIN Act would push back against the EPA's unconstitutional, outrageous rules and regulations that raise energy prices for consumers, destroy jobs and increase our dependence on foreign sources of energy.Click here to see our key vote notice in support of H.R. 2401. H.R. 2681, Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act The bill would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations from coming into effect which would place burdensome regulations on the cement industry. The cement industry estimates that the rule could destroy as many as 4,000 jobs. The Cement Sector Regulatory Relief Act would stop the unnecessary cement MACT rule which will cost thousands of jobs and hamper economic growth.Click here to see our key vote notice in support of H.R. 2581. H.R. 2250, EPA Regulatory Relief Act

    The bill would help to curtail the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Boiler MACT regulations on boilers and industrial incinerators. The Council of Industrial Boiler Owners estimates that the regulations will cost 244,000 jobs. The EPA Regulatory Relief Act would help to roll back unreasonable regulations and save thousands of American jobs.Click here to see our key vote notice in support of H.R. 2250.

    H.R. 2273, Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act

    The bill would prohibit the EPA from regulating coal ash as a toxic waste in any state which prefers to develop its own plans in that regard. This bill would further slow the EPA’s Regulatory Trainwreck and could save thousands of jobs in coal-rich states such as West Virginia and Ohio.

    H.R. 1230, Restarting American Offshore Leasing Now Act

    The Restarting American Offshore Leasing Now Act (H.R. 1230) would establish statutory deadlines for sales of certain oil and gas leases in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). CBO estimates that enacting this legislation would reduce net direct spending by $25 million over the 2011-2016 period and about $40 million over the 2011-2021 period. Restarting offshore leasing will help restore thousands of jobs.

    H.R. 1229, Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act

    The bill would amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to facilitate the production of American energy resources from the Gulf of Mexico. The Obama administration has delayed or canceled offshore lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico. The bill would jump start offshore oil drilling by implementing a 30-day deadline in which the secretary of the U.S. Interior Department would have to make a decision on the Gulf of Mexico drilling permit applications. The bill would likely help to create tens of thousands of jobs and strengthen the economy.Click here to see our key vote notice in support of H.R. 1229.

    H.R. 1231, Reversing President Obama’s Offshore Moratorium ActThe bill would reverse President Obama's Offshore Moratorium Act and amend the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to require that each 5-year offshore oil and gas leasing program offer leasing in the areas with the most prospective oil and gas resources and would establish a domestic oil and natural gas production goal. Reversing the offshore moratoriums will help restore thousands of jobs.H.R. 2021, the Jobs and Energy Permitting Act of 2011

    The bill would eliminate needless permitting delays that have stalled important energy production opportunities off the coast of Alaska. Rather than having exploration air permits repeatedly approved and rescinded by the agency and its review board, the EPA will be required to take final action – granting or denying a permit – within six months. The Jobs and Energy Permitting Act of 2011 would speed up the permit process to help create jobs.

    H.R. 1938, North American-Made Energy Security Act

    The bill would require the President to issue a final order granting or denying the Presidential Permit for Keystone XL 30 days after the issuance of the final environmental impact statement, but in no event later than November 1, 2011. A Canadian pipeline company, TransCanada, has long sought to increase the capacity of its Keystone pipeline system in order to bring more Canadian crude oil to American refineries. The North American-Made Energy Security Act would boost jobs and lower the price of gasoline for all Americans.

    Just a reminder. All these bills were posted on Freedomworks website

    And all I see
    Is every bill wants to either dismantle the EPA or roll back consumer protection or open up drilling
    The Koch brothers are certainly getting their moneys worth out of Dick Armey and all the tin foil hate Tea partiers that are left

    They are meant to kill jobs so they can then blame a bad economy on Barry and the choom gang.

    They have nothing to do with jobs
    They are wish lists of things big energy wants so they can make more money

    If jobs are created it is a side effect not the objective
    The less jobs created
    The more profit
    Right now the USA actually has a oil glut. The USA has never before produced as much oil as it is now. Canadian crude gets stuck in Oklahoma and sold to us at a discount becuase the Canadians cant get it to the refinerys or the gulf where it can be refined and sold overseas for a profit instead of selling it to us at a discount
