                                  JOBS

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because I want 
someone to show me the jobs that we have been promised by the 
Democrats. Many counties in my district have unemployment rates of more 
than 13 percent.
  Show me the jobs, Mr. Speaker. My colleagues on the Democratic side 
of the aisle promised that their trillion-dollar stimulus would 
immediately create jobs and unemployment would not rise above 8 
percent. Nothing could be further from the truth. In June alone, almost 
half a million jobs were lost, driving unemployment to its highest 
level in 26 years.
  Now, after shoving a $646 billion energy tax down the throats of the 
American people, liberal leadership is now shoving a multitrillion-
dollar health experiment. According to the CBO, this will cost 750,000 
more jobs and push 100 million Americans off of their private health 
care plans.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to show me the jobs and show me why the 
American people should believe once again that a trillion-dollar 
experiment will work.
