     WHERE ARE THE JOBS THE DEMOCRATS SPENT $1 TRILLION TO CREATE?

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, you know, I think pushing 
government-controlled health care is a way for the Democrats to divert 
attention away from the economy.
  The White House said we had to pass a stimulus because it didn't want 
unemployment over 8 percent. Unemployment is at 9.5 percent and slated 
to reach higher.
  The White House said it didn't want to own General Motors. The 
government owns General Motors.
  The White House said it didn't want any pork in the stimulus. Now, 
we're paying money to clear away obstacles for fish and to monitor 
earthquakes and volcanos.
  The White House said it didn't want to increase the deficit. The U.S. 
deficit broke past $1 trillion in June, a grim testament to the 
recession and financial crisis.
  I have one question, Where are the jobs the Democrats spent $1 
trillion to create?
