                    DEMOCRAT CONGRESS DOESN'T GET IT

  (Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, the Democrat Congress doesn't get 
it. We have got terrorists who want to do us harm, and we have yet to 
pass the FISA law. We have troops on the battlefield, and we have yet 
to pass the supplemental to get them the resources they need to do 
their job.
  We have got a $10 trillion national debt, and yet the budget that was 
passed 3 weeks ago contains record levels of spending and the largest 
tax increase in history. Of course, we have got $4 a gallon gasoline 
and still no up or down vote on energy, expanding energy exploration.
  We need to drill, we need to drill now. It's time to stop talking and 
start doing.
