WHERE ARE THE JOBS?
(Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
[[Page H1221]]
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, this is supposed to be the
people's House, but for 428 days of Republican leadership, the American
people have been stuck on the outside looking in. House Tea Party
Republicans have locked millions of Americans out of this economy and
thrown away the key.
Republicans have gambled on tax cuts for millionaires, oil companies,
and special interests and fought to lay off droves of teachers, cops,
and firefighters, all in an effort to see President Obama and our
recovery fail.
Now, after 2 years of private sector job growth under President
Obama, Republicans claim that they now have a jobs plan. Well, I'm
going to tell you, rooting against the President, hoping that he will
fail, is not a jobs plan. That's called sabotage.
Republicans have defaulted on their promises to the American people
that they would work to create jobs. Instead, they have started a war
against women's health.
How much longer will Americans with no jobs, no hope, and no money
have to wait before the Republicans pass a jobs bill?
