                             JUST THE FACTS

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, as Congress debates 
how to best craft the 2016 budget proposal, I hope that heavier 
consideration will be given to reality over ideology.
  Let's look at the facts of what has actually worked in the past and 
what has not. Because in real life, the facts show that Democratic 
administrations have outperformed the Republican administrations in 
creating jobs by a significant margin.
  The most recent jobs report, for instance, showed that the economy 
added another 295,000 jobs in February. That is the 60th consecutive 
month of private sector job growth, and the longest streak in history 
that has been recorded.
  Over the past 5 years, the American automobile industry added over 
500,000 jobs due to the Democratic-led restructuring.
  And during the past 4 years, while our friends on the other side of 
the aisle predicted hyperinflation, the collapse of the dollar, and 
worse, we put more people back to work than all other advanced 
economies combined.
  Let's face the facts and consider what has worked in the real world 
in creating jobs.
