Leadership: House Republicans are launching a pre-emptive strike against the president's forthcoming jobs plan. Instead of more Obamanomics, they offer real relief for private-sector job producers.

Appearing on Fox News on Monday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., gave one of the most succinct descriptions of the Obama administration's economic policy yet heard.

The White House, he said, has "demonstrated that it is not interested in focusing on private-sector growth."

Instead, it has conducted "a continued expansion of government, continued grabs at trying to tell people who want to go out and invest and create a profit that maybe they've ... done enough already, and that we need to take that money and put it elsewhere."

Cantor's remarks juxtaposed the two opposing governing philosophies vying for support in America today: providing government with massive resources and a long to-do list vs. making it easier for profit-motivated business to expand by rolling back government regulation and taxation.

For Washington's central planners, the latter approach entails accepting a large dose of unpredictability: Where will the new private-sector jobs emerge? No one can know with a great degree of certainty when tens of thousands of employers, investors and entrepreneurs make their own varied decisions.

But that was true for the historic Reagan boom of the 1980s, and the high-tech revolution that followed, and Cantor and his fellow House Republicans are delivering actions to back up their words.

Next week, they'll begin bringing bills to the floor to repeal, restrict or delay implementation of federal regulations ranging from Environmental Protection Agency rules to labor law on the relocation of businesses.

"By pursuing a steady repeal of job-destroying regulations, we can help lift the cloud of uncertainty hanging over small and large employers alike, empowering them to hire more workers," Cantor wrote in a memo to fellow members released Monday.snip
