Washington (CNSNews.com) - White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Wednesday that President Trump will free businesses from the restraints of government bureaucracy and regulations, noting that “the real government incentive is the government restraining itself.”



“President Trump knows that for business, the real government incentive is the government restraining itself,” he said. “For too many years, Washington has smothered industry in this country under burdensome regulation. This administration will set out to free businesses from restraints of government bureaucracy and regulation.”





Spicer announced that Intel plans to open a facility in Arizona that will create 10,000 jobs.



“Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced that his company’s opening up a high-tech manufacturing facility in Arizona that will create roughly 10,000 jobs between the factory itself and its supply chain, which is the latest wave in an economic optimism that’s sweeping the country following the president’s victory,” Spicer said.



“In his inaugural address, the president laid out an ambitious vision to create 25 million jobs over the next decade. From beginning of his campaign, bringing jobs back to our struggling community has been one of the parts of the president’s message that most resonated with the American people,” he said.



The press secretary said the president’s business background makes him “keenly aware” of what keeps businesses from being successful.



“Having hired tens of thousands of people himself, the president’s keenly aware of what prevents businesses from being successful and creating jobs in the current economy. President Obama by contrast visited the same factory site where this factory will be built during his last re-election campaign in 2012, touting the government incentives that were supposed to bring back jobs that have been lost to Asia,” Spicer said.



“President Trump knows that for business, the real government incentive is the government restraining itself,” he said. “For too many years, Washington has smothered industry in this country under burdensome regulation. This administration will set out to free businesses from restraints of government bureaucracy and regulation.”



Spicer said Trump’s “Buy American Hire American agenda” will move government out of the way of businesses so they can thrive.



“Just last week, the president signed what we’ve been calling the One in Two Out executive order requiring that every new federal regulation that’s adopted, two must be eliminated. This new rule will provide much needed relief for businesses who’ve been regulated and saddled with an absolutely staggering amount of additional red tape - as much as $1.9 trillion per year by some estimates,” Spicer said.



“In 2014, the National Association of Manufacturers calculated that companies in every industry paid an average of $9,991 per employee to comply with federal regulations, and it’s only gotten worse since that study was conducted. By relieving even a small portion of this burden, we will allow businesses to grow and hire more people. Projects that have been stalled or scuttled are being revived in anticipation of the president’s pro-growth policies,” he said.
