                                  JOBS

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. I head back to my district tomorrow to face 
the thousands of people who sent me here to help them find jobs--800 
days ago.
  Mr. Speaker, what do I say to them? They know the real deficit is 
jobs. Do I say that the Republicans in Congress don't get it and that 
they don't understand that people are suffering and struggling and 
starving and looking for work? Millions of people are out of work, and 
this body seeks to fire millions more.
  Wake up, America. It's time to bring the President's American Jobs 
Act to the floor for a vote. It deserves a vote.
  Mr. Speaker, our mantra should be ``jobs, jobs, jobs--and more 
jobs.''
