                          WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

  (Mr. KING of New York asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. KING of New York. Mr. Speaker, 6 months after the Democratic 
administration came in with such promise, tens and tens of millions of 
Americans are asking, Where are the jobs?
  Instead, during the past 6 months we've seen the systematic 
mismanaging and dismantling of the American economy. We've seen a 
stimulus bill which cost over $1 trillion in new spending with almost 
no tax relief for small business, with almost no needed infrastructure, 
but again, money on top of money. The President said jobs would come 
almost immediately. Instead, the situation gets worse by the week.
  We saw a cap-and-tax so-called energy bill which is going to result 
in millions of jobs going to China and India.
  And now we see a health care bill which will ration medical care, at 
the same time, according to the CBO, increase medical costs, the worst 
of all worlds.
  Mr. Speaker, it's time for the American people to tell this 
administration and this Democratic-controlled Congress to work together 
in a bipartisan way so we can say, here come the jobs, not seeing the 
jobs leave our country, not seeing millions of millions of people being 
unemployed because of failed liberal Democrat policies.
