                           ECONOMIC POLICIES

  (Mr. DeFAZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, the President was on television this week 
defending his economic policies talking about the progress, and I am 
going to admit that after yesterday we are about halfway back to where 
this administration needs to be in putting Americans and America back 
to work.
  Yesterday--congratulations are in order--Larry Summers was either 
fired or encouraged to leave. It doesn't matter, he's gone.
  It's about a year since I asked the President to fire Geithner and 
Summers, two people of, by, and for Wall Street. Wall Street has 
received enough attention, and the Republicans would shower even more 
attention on Wall Street, should they take over again, against Main 
Street American working people.
  It's time this President came back to his Democratic roots, his 
Democratic values. Geithner needs to go too. Let's bring in a team that 
cares about working Americans.
