Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman says President Obama has “no new ideas on how to create American jobs.”
“For two and a half years he’s been peddling a version of the Buffett Tax Hike as a key pillar of his failed attempt to tax and spend and regulate this country to prosperity,” he said in a statement. “That simply hasn’t worked and it won’t work now. President Obama’s veto threats and partisan demands are a poor attempt to camouflage a $1.5 trillion tax hike that is deeply misguided and the latest example of his ineffective leadership on the economy.”
