       AMERICA NEEDS REAL JOBS, REAL SOLUTIONS, AND REAL RESULTS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. KENNY MARCHANT

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 11, 2013

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, last week, we were reminded of the 
devastating economic consequences that tax hikes and Obamacare are 
having on our economy.
  Only 88,000 jobs were added last month, according to the Department 
of Labor, and nearly half a million people left the job market. The 
percentage of Americans in the labor force is now at its lowest level 
since the Carter era.
  For every job gained last month, more than five people stopped 
looking for work altogether.
  And now the President submits a budget proposal that completely 
ignores this economic reality. This proposal hikes taxes and does 
nothing to balance our budget.
  This is unacceptable. America needs real jobs, real solutions, and 
real results.
