Jobs and the Economy

Unnecessary and burdensome regulations have hindered economic growth and job creation in America. That is why I am fighting for smarter, pro-growth policies that get government out of the way and help small businesses expand and hire new workers. In fact, I have supported overturning numerous regulations written by unelected bureaucrats who do not understand the negative consequences of the rules they wrote.

Michigan has a talented workforce and world-leading manufacturing base, and we can keep it that way by promoting opportunities in the skilled trades. I am committed to ensuring residents have the opportunity to learn career and technical skills that are vital to applying for good-paying jobs.

Today, President Joe Biden will travel to Detroit to attend the North American International Auto Show.

"President Biden got behind the wheel of the economy, hit the accelerator on inflation, and drove America into a recession with soaring prices for food and energy.

Press Release

"Michigan families and seniors are struggling to afford the essentials as President Biden's inflation crisis continues. They have been forced to spend hundreds more each month to cover the cost of living in Biden's economy," said Congressman John Moolenaar. "Worst of all, while Michigan families were paying more to put food on the table, Biden decided to stick them with the bill for the college debts run up by other people. This is wrong, and I will continue to oppose Biden’s failed economic policies.”

Moolenaar on Biden's Plan to Burden Taxpayers with Student Debt

August 24, 2022

Press Release

"Today’s announcement by President Biden takes money from hardworking Michigan families and benefits mostly wealthier Americans who chose to take on debt on their own. Meanwhile, hardworking Michigan residents who learned skilled trades and put those skills to work will now be picking up the tab for personal loans taken out by others,” said Congressman John Moolenaar. "It is completely unfair to the many Americans who worked hard and already paid back their loans. All of us will be paying a price for this Biden policy as it will increase inflation and the cost for goods and services.”
