                           A SIMPLE JOBS PLAN

  (Mrs. MALONEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, I would like to propose a plan that is as 
simple as one, two, three.
  Number one is getting back to basics and helping to create badly 
needed jobs. This economy will not grow unless we stimulate private 
sector job growth. It's time to drop the partisan bickering and focus 
on creating jobs and creating them now. Pass the President's jobs bill.
  Number two is building up our infrastructure. Work on our roads and 
trains is desperately needed to help America compete, and this badly 
needed repair work creates jobs that cannot be outsourced. We need to 
pass the transportation bill now.
  Number three is embracing a bold and balanced vision and crafting a 
true bipartisan agreement in the super committee, one that cuts our 
deficits by trillions, invests and raises revenues, and creates jobs. 
No one is pretending it will be easy, but if we get back to basics it 
could be as easy as one, two, three.
