                   TIME TO GET AMERICA WORKING AGAIN

  (Mr. BUCHANAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BUCHANAN. Madam Speaker, there are 14 million Americans out of 
work. We have a record 30 straight months of unemployment at 8 percent 
or above--the longest stretch since the Great Depression. That's simply 
unacceptable. The President and the Congress must work together to grow 
the economy and create jobs. As a businessman for over 30 years, I have 
seen firsthand that the government does not create jobs. The private 
sector does. Small business does.
  My jobs plan would expand overseas markets for U.S. goods and 
services, lower taxes on business, eliminate frivolous lawsuits, and 
abolish unnecessary regulation. We need to get our financial house back 
in order and move towards a constitutional balanced budget amendment. 
It's time we work together to get America back to work.
