WASHINGTON, DC – Former Speaker of the House and General Chairman of American Solutions, Newt Gingrich, recently honored Mr. David Armstrong, President and CEO of Armstrong International, Inc., as American Solutions’ “Outstanding Business Leader” for 2009 representing the State of Michigan. 

“While Washington politicians are busy pushing for job-killing health care and energy taxes, it’s important that successful businessmen like David are recognized for doing what it takes to create jobs,” cited Gingrich. “America has blown past 10% unemployment, and creating new jobs is necessary for economic recovery. Unlike Washington, business leaders like Mr. Armstrong realize that America does not work if Americans are not working.  I look forward to working with David on advancing real solutions to help create more jobs and get our economy moving again.”

In wake of the Federal Reserve’s recent report that we are at a 10.2% national unemployment rate, American Solutions launched a “Jobs Here - Jobs Now - Jobs First” agenda that contains six positive solutions to help small business create new jobs now.

The six solutions are a 2 year, 50% payroll tax cut, cutting the corporate tax rate to 12.5% to match Ireland, abolishing the capital gains tax to match China, ending the death tax, small business investment incentives, and to balance the federal budget within seven years.
