                            ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

  (Mr. CANTOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, at a time when millions of Americans are 
losing their jobs and families are desperately seeking employment, this 
Congress and this administration have made job creation a secondary 
concern. As a result, they have squandered a golden opportunity to put 
people back to work.
  Frankly, the American people have just had enough. They have had 
enough of a stimulus bill that has wasted hundreds of billions of 
dollars and not staved off job loss. They have had enough of the 
national energy tax that will impose extraordinary job-killing taxes on 
the people of this country. And now, Mr. Speaker, they have had enough 
of talk of a health care bill that not only will fail to deliver the 
access and quality that we need, but it will cripple small businesses 
by imposing an 8 percent payroll tax on them.
  Mr. Speaker, the question is: Where are the jobs? Congress and this 
administration have been asleep for too long--and we can do better.
