                          WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

  (Mr. ELLISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. ELLISON. Where are the jobs? Well, my friends in the party 
opposite should know; they're the ones who lost them. The fact is that, 
in Bush's last month in August, he lost 741,000 jobs, an amazing feat.
  My friends in the party opposite talk about debt. Is this the same 
party that had two unpaid-for wars, $700 billion in cuts for the 
wealthy unpaid for, a $400 billion handout to big PhRMA? Do they speak 
of debt? My friends of the party opposite sat by and did nothing while 
foreclosures, predatory lending, and explosions in executive pay 
brought us the largest number of foreclosures since the Great 
Depression, refused to regulate in any particular way, and now they 
say, ``Where are the jobs?'' and they talk of debt. This is an amazing 
amount of audacity.
  I wonder, where are the jobs? They should know; they're the ones who 
lost them. We're trying to find them, and we're being successful.
