WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE JOBS
(Ms. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, last November I hosted a jobs fair in New
York's Hudson Valley. A thousand local residents came to meet with
nearly 40 local employers, all seeking work, of course, all offering
work.
At Christmas I was very happy to receive a card from one of our
residents. She had found a job at our jobs fair. So the question I have
as we approach the President's State of the Union tonight is: How can
we multiply this story by 14 million? And I think we can do it if we
work together, House and Senate and President, to free American
enterprise to create jobs.
Washington cannot regulate or tax us into growth, but we can work
together to lift burdens and bring the Federal Government to the right
size to serve, and not to suffocate, a strong and healthy economy.
I stand ready to work with our colleagues to pursue this. It is
simple common sense.
