Cantor Puts Democrats on Notice for Fall
By Alan K. Ota, CQ Staff



Midlothian, Va. — House Republicans will spend the fall portraying the economic stimulus law as a waste of taxpayer money while depicting Democratic attempts to retool the health system as potentially ruinous to small businesses, says Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia.

Cantor told reporters the GOP would continue to offer alternatives on health care and the economic recovery.

“If we’re going to oppose what {Speaker Nancy} Pelosi and the administration are doing, we’re going to proffer coherent counterproposals that we believe make more sense,” Cantor said.

The second-ranking House Republican spoke to the media Monday during a half-day job fair that he sponsored at Clover Hill High School, in the suburbs west of Richmond. More than 3,000 job-seekers jammed the road in front of the school and parked cars on nearby lawns to meet with some 80 employers inside.

Cantor, who has emerged as one of the Obama administration’s sharpest critics, said that the throng of jobless residents was a measure of the faltering effects of the stimulus law (PL 111-5) that Republicans contend was too focused on infrastructure spending that will increase the federal debt.

Cantor called for redirecting stimulus money toward small businesses, saying they are capable of creating jobs quickly.

“If we’re not going to direct them {funds} in the direction of job creators, we ought not be spending taxpayer dollars,” Cantor said. Referring to the job-seekers, he said, “These people, they have real dire circumstances.”
