Steve Daines – Creating an Environment Where Job Growth can thrive

Steve Daines

The kinds of jobs that will keep America in the lead over the long term in global markets will not be created by government stimulus programs. Good paying jobs that result in innovation and high productivity have always come from the private sector founded on entrepreneurial principles. This country needs these jobs now to reduce our unemployment rate, relieve people from seeking government assistance, and give families the financial security they deserve.

My beliefs on creating more jobs for Americans comes from firsthand experience with one of the largest companies in America and a small business with its roots as a startup in Bozeman, Montana. At both Procter & Gamble and RightNow Technologies I saw and experienced the numerous benefits that growing companies can offer in terms of security to their existing employees and opportunity to new hires. Despite their difference in size, Procter & Gamble and RightNow Technologies had many things in common with the most important being that each company was more efficient and productive with less government involvement.

America needs to unleash its innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship in the workplace to compete in the global marketplace. We can only reach this objective with less government involvement in the day to day operation of American companies. We also need to reduce burdensome taxes on these businesses so that revenues can be reinvested back into company growth initiatives instead of being sent off to Washington to cover deficit spending habits. Creating an environment where businesses can thrive and grow will create jobs at home and allow America to compete at its highest level in the global marketplace.
