  REPUBLICAN CULTURE OF CORRUPTION LEAVES NO ROOM FOR REAL LEADERSHIP

minute.)
  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, we have all seen the polls. We know that 
Americans are unhappy by what they have seen here in Washington. They

are looking for real leadership on the important issues of the day and 
where is the leadership from this Republican Congress?
  Madam Speaker, the Republicans control the House. Where are their new 
ideas to help reduce prices at the pump? Where are their new ideas to 
help seniors with the new prescription drug disaster plan? Where are 
their new ideas on how to help college students afford better college? 
Where are their ideas on how to help everyday Americans struggling to 
make ends meet or how to get 45 million Americans that lack health 
coverage, health coverage? Where are their new ideas to reduce the huge 
national deficit which happened on their watch leaving our children and 
grandchildren with debt as far as the eye can see?
  Madam Speaker, Democrats have new ideas and are ready to lead this 
House.
