                          THE OBAMA JOBS PLAN

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. The President wants Congress to pass his 
$447 billion jobs plan. It really ought to be called Son of Stimulus, 
yet more spending and higher taxes, as the President's jobs plan 
proposes, won't get our economy moving in the right direction. It's 
just the same act, different day.
  It is time for our tax-and-spender-in-chief to stop pushing these 
failed policies and to start listening to the American people. With 
unemployment above 9 percent, we need to get Americans back to work by 
stopping out-of-control spending, by reforming our Tax Code, and by 
putting an end to the senseless job-killing regulations of this 
administration.
  Jobs are there. One example: Let's just drill for oil and gas. We 
simply cannot tax, spend, and borrow our way to prosperity.
