WHERE ARE THE JOBS?
(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. Mr. Speaker, over the last several weeks, I've
done numerous America Speaking Out town halls all across the 10th
Congressional District in Georgia. And what I hear from my
constituents, from the most liberal communities all the way to the most
conservative ones, is people in my district are asking, ``Where are the
jobs?'' They understand that our economy is suffering and they
understand that the stimulus bill has been an abject failure. They want
to say, ``Where are the jobs?'' and that's what they're saying through
americaspeaking
out.com.
We need to get the ball rolling and leave dollars in the hands of
small business, as well as the consumers, so that we can create jobs in
the private sector. But that's not what our colleagues on the other
side are doing. They're creating bigger government and creating more
jobs in Washington, D.C., not in Georgia or any other State around this
country. Only a few jobs are being created other than here.
I encourage people to go on americaspeakingout.com and speak about
what we should be doing right here in Congress today, what we should be
focusing on. What I'm hearing the American people saying is, ``Where
are the jobs?'' We're trying to answer that question.
