           TIME FOR CONGRESS TO LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Madam Speaker, the 111th Congress is starting 
its 10th week of this session, and what have we done to help the 
American family and our small business men and women? Absolutely 
nothing, Madam Speaker. Absolutely nothing.
  We have not passed any legislation that would create jobs, that would 
lower health care costs, or jump-start our struggling economy. Instead, 
congressional leaders continue to show their arrogance, ignorance, and 
incompetence by ramming through job-killing legislation that will 
increase taxes and increase uncertainty for families and businesses.
  Madam Speaker, 15 million Americans are without jobs. Yet Democratic 
leaders are still forcing their unpopular and unconstitutional health 
care mandates, and implementing policies that will actually discourage 
job growth.
  The American people want Washington to start over. It is time for 
congressional leaders to listen to the American people and work on real 
issues and real solutions.
