                      CREATE JOBS BY CUTTING TAXES

  (Mr. BURTON of Indiana asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURTON of Indiana. I get a big kick out of my Democrat 
colleagues, for whom I have the highest respect. They're talking about 
how they're going to come up with a jobs bill. They've increased the 
debt this year by $1.4 trillion. They're pushing through a health care 
bill, trying to ram it through, that's going to cost $1 trillion to $3 
trillion. They're trying to push through a cap-and-trade bill that's 
going to cost millions of jobs. And now, because they're worried about 
whether they're going to get reelected or not, they're coming down here 
and saying that they're going to come up with another jobs bill.
  What that means is another stimulus bill. The first stimulus bill did 
not work. It cost over $1 trillion when you include interest, and now 
they're going to do it again. The way to create jobs is to take the 
heavy weight off the back of the American people by cutting their taxes 
and cutting business taxes like John F. Kennedy did and like Ronald 
Reagan did. If you do that, you'll start seeing economic recovery--but 
not by blowing more money.
