                 ALLOW THE JOB CREATORS TO CREATE JOBS

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, I stand to tell a rare success story that 
I saw firsthand last week. Custom Aluminum Products, a local 
manufacturing business employing more than 360 people, is celebrating 
its 50th anniversary this year. Throughout those 50 years, they have 
grown from a small local manufacturer to a nationally recognized leader 
in the aluminum industry.
  I tell their story today because Custom Aluminum is a thriving local 
business--expanding, employing, and excelling despite the economic and 
regulatory burdens. We have much to learn from stories like this: that 
if given the opportunity to excel, our small businesses will answer the 
call; and that it is never the role of the Federal Government to create 
jobs. Instead, government must get out of the way of small businesses 
by reducing job-killing regulations and bureaucratic red tape and 
allowing the job creators do what they do best: create jobs.
  We must bring back certainty to the small business community and 
rebuild their confidence in our economy so that we can get Americans 
working again and celebrate many more local success stories like this 
in the coming months and years.
