For three full years, the national unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent as the president's policies have made it harder for small businesses to hire more workers. But rather than charting a new course for America's still-ailing economy, the president continues to stand by his same failed approach and gimmicks. That’s why House Republicans have been taking action and pursuing a different approach to job creation.

Last month, President Obama visited the House chamber and had an opportunity to chart a new course for America's still-ailing economy.
