                  PROGRESS FOR AMERICAN SMALL BUSINESS

  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BACA. Last week, this Chamber passed another measure to move 
America's small business forward, the backbone of this country. The 
Small Business Jobs Act provides $12 billion in tax cuts for America's 
small businesses and creates a $30 billion lending fund to increase 
available capital and spur small business lending right here in America 
and not overseas.
  This bill was one of many that congressional Democrats worked on to 
provide relief for hardworking Americans. That is why we passed the 
Recovery Act, which boosted SBA funding to authorize loans. That is why 
President Obama has already signed into law eight separate small 
business tax cuts.
  Republicans don't seem to get it. Instead of working for the people, 
they would rather work to obstruct and continue to be the Party of No.
  On the other hand, congressional Democrats and the President have 
constantly supported the American economic backbone. We didn't create 
this economic mess, but I am confident that we will be the ones to lead 
us out of it.
