                         PASS THESE JOBS BILLS

  (Mr. DesJARLAIS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. DesJARLAIS. Mr. Speaker, my constituents are rightfully fed up. 
President Obama has managed to create an economy where the only things 
that are growing are power in Washington, debt for our children and 
grandchildren, a lack of confidence for job creators, and the number of 
unemployed Americans.
  When it comes to creating an environment to help the private sector 
create jobs, the difference between House Republicans and Senate 
Democrats is the difference between action and inaction.
  This year, under the House Republicans' Plan for America's Job 
Creators, we have passed more than 25 pro-growth job bills. These 
bipartisan bills are aimed at restoring the freedom and confidence of 
job creators by breaking down the barriers preventing them from growing 
and creating badly needed jobs. Yet 21 of these bipartisan House-passed 
job bills are stuck in the Senate because Senate Majority Leader Harry 
Reid continues to put politics before jobs.
  It's time for the Senate Democrat leadership to join our fight for 
America and put them back to work. Pass these jobs bills.
