COMMENTARY | Speaker of the House John Boehner made perhaps his most intelligent decision to date when choosing the lawmaker to give the Weekly Republican Address on August 20. The nation's debt ceiling debate and lack of cohesive plan to bolster the economy will be the focus of not only President Obama's weekly address but the GOP response offered by Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
The most obvious difference between the two men does not stem from the differences in Obama's liberal ideology and Kasich's fiscally responsible mindset. While President is busy lighting up the airwaves with speeches and "listening" tours, Gov. Kasich toiled away creating a business friendly environment and actually fostering job growth in the Buckeye State. President Obama attempts to dance to the tune of both the far-left and the moderate beat of the Democratic Party, hopelessly flailing in the process. Gov. Kasich is not a timid individual, but a man of action who pushes forward regardless of rantings by those resistant to fiscally responsible measures.
Rep. Boehner hopes Gov. Kasich's golden touch to balancing a budget without raising taxes will rub-off on President Obama and his liberal peers. Standard and Poor's downgraded the United States credit rating, but upgraded both Ohio and Florida's credit rating during the same time period. Both states are led by fiscally conservative leaders. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker can boast more job growth than any other state. Maybe if enough successful Republican governors get a turn at responding to the President's weekly address, some of their successful fiscal management ideas may take root.
Gov. Kasich was able to close the Ohio's $8 billion budget deficit without raising taxes and save jobs. During his first year in office the Governor enticed multiple businesses which were in the midst of relocating to southern state where the tax climate was more agreeable, to keeping those jobs in Ohio. The new JobsOhio agency is a public-private partnership focused on economic development. Job creators will no longer have to maneuver through mountains of governmental red tape and adhere to mind-boggling slow pace to open or expand a business in Ohio. Financial guru Mark Kvamme is the interim director for JobsOhio, bringing his vast business skill set to the Buckeye State.
Americans would be well served if President Obama borrowed a page from Governor Kasich's economic growth playbook.
