                          WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

  (Mr. SHIMKUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, there is one question. The question is: 
Where are the jobs?
  We are at 9.5 percent unemployment and nearly 15 million people out 
of work. Since President Obama has been elected, we've spent over $6.1 
trillion in just these 18 months.
  Why are there no jobs? Because there is uncertainty displayed by this 
administration and this Congress--there is uncertainty on energy costs, 
there is uncertainty about health care costs, there is uncertainty 
about taxes. Like a businessman told me just yesterday, you can't raise 
our taxes and expect us to hire more people and create new jobs.
