                      THE WHITE HOUSE JOBS PROBLEM

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. A recent New York Times poll indicates 54 
percent of the public believe the President does not have a clear plan 
for creating jobs. Clearly, the failed $1 trillion stimulus plan 
created to keep unemployment below 8 percent shows the President's 
inability to lead. The dismal numbers come as the Democrats neglected 
to produce a budget and the majority leader announced the Democrats 
will raise taxes to pay for more government spending. I say: Cut 
government spending so you don't have to raise taxes.
  While they should be focused on creating jobs, the Democrats have 
proven the only thing they can do well is tax and spend. Here's a novel 
idea that the American people know from personal experience: Stop 
spending money you don't have.
