      THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHERE ARE THE JOBS

  (Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Mr. Speaker, the American people 
have every right to ask where the jobs are. They know we are losing a 
half million jobs each month, and yet they saw this Democratic majority 
pass an energy bill that will raise utility rates for every American. 
Now they see the Obama White House and the Democrats pushing to 
drastically cut Medicare and massively raise taxes on small businesses 
to pay for their government takeover of health care. The people know 
that will mean millions more jobs lost.
  We need tax credits, Mr. Speaker, to help make health care more 
affordable and accessible, not massive tax hikes. We need job creation. 
We need more jobs, not massive layoffs caused by massive tax increases.
