DEMOCRATIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS
(Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. BACA. Mr. Speaker, when President Obama took office, he inherited
a $1.2 trillion deficit, two wars, a recession, mounting job losses,
and a disaster like Katrina that pushed our economy to the brink.
While the Republicans continue to push the same failed policies of
the past, Democrats are fighting to help America recover from the Bush
recession and move forward.
This Congress, our President, and the Democrats, have fought for
middle class tax cuts, boosted small businesses with job creating
investments, fought to protect Social Security, worked to create new
jobs at home, fought to end the outsourcing of jobs overseas, and have
given patients, not health insurance companies, control over their
health care.
The choice is clear. Support the Party of No with no solution or the
Democrats who will work with working families, the middle class, and
will work to strengthen our economy.

Republicans threaten to take us back to the failed policies of the
past. We must continue to move America forward.
