October 11: Congresswoman Kaptur Urges Republicans to Support Jobs Bill

Appearing on "The Kudlow Report" on CNBC, Congresswoman Kaptur last night said Republicans in Congress should abandon their obstructionist tactics and help pass President Obama's jobs bill.

"Far too many Republicans are more anti-Obama than they are pro-jobs, and what we need is a Congress focused on job creation," Congresswoman Kaptur said. "People need jobs and they need investment. What's happening out here in the real America is that loans still aren't being made to small business. Six institutions now command two thirds of the banking system in this country. It's too much power in too few hands—that's the problem."

Congresswoman Kaptur charged that Republicans "have offered no jobs bill" and have refused to support the president's proposal to cut the payroll tax, which would "help both consumers and small businesses, and that would create the kind of bounce that Nan and I both would like to see in the economy."

Congresswoman Kaptur criticized House Minority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) for proclaiming the president's jobs bill "dead on arrival."

"I've never heard a leader of a major party say that when the country is longing for jobs and we've got growth stuck in this country. America is an 'I can'nation. We're not a country that looks in the rear-view mirror. That's a great disappointment when a leader says that."

Congresswoman Kaptur appeared on "The Kudlow Report" with U.S. Rep. Nan Hayworth, a Republican from New York.
