                        DEMOCRATS' JOB CREATION

  (Mr. BOCCIERI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOCCIERI. Mr. Speaker, can you believe it? The United States 
House of Representatives under Democrat majorities have delivered the 
largest tax reductions in America's history to middle class families. 
That's right. Ninety-five percent of American workers got a tax cut in 
the stimulus bill. The stimulus bill acted as a backstop against 
further job loss, and it helped create some jobs along the way, like 
what is happening in my district.
  Ameridial, in Canton, is adding hundreds of jobs. LuK USA, which 
makes drive trains for the automotive industry, invested $18 million 
with a $2 million tax abatement that was handed out through some of our 
recovery efforts, and now they're adding another $60 million investment 
in expansion. Tekfor just added another $31 million in expansion. These 
are real signs of economic life and prosperity right in the heartland 
of Ohio.
  Let me remind my conservative friends on the other side, amidst the 
constant drumbeat that we hear from conservative talk radio, that this 
is the record, that this is the record of job losses and that this is 
the record of job recovery that we have seen under this administration 
and under this leadership.
