BARRIERS TO JOB CREATION
(Mr. SCALISE asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, this House and this Congress need to be
focused on job creation. In fact, this House has passed scores of
legislation out of the House over to the Senate that would create
millions of American jobs. Yet the Senate refuses to take any action on
them.
And what do we get from the President? We get more of the same class
warfare and failed stimulus legislation. Of course, his first stimulus
was such a disaster. We had a hearing last week that exposed the
Solyndra scandal. That's the company that the President used as the
poster child for the stimulus bill 2 years ago. And what happened? The
taxpayers are on the hook right now for over $530 million of money that
was thrown away by this company that the President called a year ago
the ``future of this country.''
Well, I don't want a future of bankruptcy, I don't want a future of
scandal, and I don't want a future of the radical regulations and this
class warfare that this President has given to this country. We need to
create American jobs. We need to get these crazy regulations off the
backs of our small business owners and create jobs in America.
