Jumpstart Our Business Startups

Mar. 22, 2012 | H.R. 3606

The "Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act" would reduce critical regulatory protections for investors that are essential to safeguarding the retirement savings of America's workers from fraud and other risks. The so-called "Jobs Act" would create few jobs and would instead inevitably weaken investor confidence in our capital markets by creating new and expanded loopholes in our securities laws. Weakened securities regulations increase the danger of fraud and speculation. The bill passed.

This is Bad for working people.
