                     UNCERTAINTY IMPEDES JOB GROWTH

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, the number one job for House Republicans is 
job growth. The number one impediment to job growth is uncertainty: 
uncertainty caused by a record-high debt--$14.3 trillion and growing--
and the record-high taxes that are going to have to pay for it; 
uncertainty about the largest tax increase in the history of the Nation 
that the President pledges to support in just 19 months. Add to that 
the unknown cost of the government takeover of health care and the 
unknown price of Dodd-Frank and you've got a very uncertain private 
sector.
  We cannot help the job seeker by punishing the job creator. They need 
us to work with them, not against them. If we follow the House 
Republican plan for America's job creators and stop spending money we 
don't have, certainty will be restored, our economy will grow, and jobs 
will be created.
