I want to create a culture of opportunity
where Americans have access not only to
jobs, but to lasting, rewarding careers.

Our current national unemployment rate

is less than five percent and in Oklahoma

we’re down to less than four percent.

That’s better than the averages in any

of the last three decades.

Our economic plan is working,
but we need to make the tax relief that
has fueled that recovery permanent. We’re
doing that in the House through the Tax
Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act.

It will prevent more than $20 billion in tax
increases over the next four
years and directly help many
of our senior citizens.
