JOBS NOW
(Mr. CICILLINE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, President Obama has offered the American
Jobs Act, a clear path forward to putting our country back to work,
helping small businesses succeed and hire and providing tax relief for
our workers and rebuilding America. The emphasis of the plan is
immediate action that will preserve and create jobs now. It will put
money into the pockets of working Americans now, and it will give
businesses job-creating tax breaks now. It will provide a boost to the
economy that we need now.
Mr. Speaker, it's time for Democrats and Republicans to work together
and with our President to put the country back to work. The American
people literally can't afford to wait a single day more. It's time to
pass the American Jobs Act now.
