                          WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the

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?
