         SUPPORTING EDUCATION JOBS AND MEDICAID ASSISTANCE ACT

  (Mr. ROTHMAN of New Jersey asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTHMAN of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, just say no? That's not a 
solution. The Democrats in the House of Representatives want to find 
solutions and pay for them, and that's what we are doing.
  Earlier this year, 42 governors wrote to us and said they needed help 
paying for health care for the poorest people in their States and 42 
governors were out of money. So the Democrats came up with a solution 
to provide money to these States so that they could provide health care 
to their poorest people, and we found a way to pay for every penny of 
it and not add a penny to the deficit and this way help those poor 
people who needed it, help the governors, and reduce the burden of 
taxes on local and State taxpayers. We did it by cutting loopholes for 
corporations who were getting a tax break for taking their companies 
overseas.
  See who votes which way. The Democrats came up with the solution. We 
paid for every penny of it. We are helping the States, the taxpayers, 
and those in need. We are moving the country forward.
  We will not allow this country to go back to the policies that 
brought us to the brink of disaster.
