JOB CREATION
(Mr. DOYLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
[[Page H7022]]
Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Speaker, America was founded on the principle that
everyone should get a shot at the American Dream. But with so much
unemployment, so many mortgages underwater, so many people struggling
just to get by, it's not surprising that half of all Americans think
the American Dream is dead.
This Congress should be making job creation our top priority. But
what has the majority in the House done to create jobs? Nothing.
What's even worse, every job proposal that President Obama has sent
to this House has been met with a resounding ``no.'' And what's their
alternative? To do nothing.
Democrats have been working to pass legislation to grow this economy
and create new jobs. After 42 weeks of doing nothing, it's time for the
Republican majority to join us in giving the American people the jobs
they need and deserve.
