                        HEALTH CARE AND NEW JOBS

  (Mr. CARTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, the Speaker of the House got up and said, 
jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. That was when we were dealing with what they 
call the National Energy Tax. We called it cap-and-tax. But what was 
the reality? That particular bill passed by the Congress will result in 
job losses of 2.3 million to 2.7 million. It's predicted by 2035, 1.38 
million manufacturing jobs will go overseas.
  The number of job growths created by the Democrats thus far? Zero. 
None. What jobs was she talking about? Her job? We don't know. But we 
haven't seen the jobs. Where are the jobs?
  And now we're looking at a health care plan which experts tell us 
between 4 million and 6 million more jobs will be lost and there will 
be no reduction in the cost to the American people. Let's get a health 
care plan that works and let's ask again, and again, and again, Madam 
Speaker, Where are the jobs?
