                   HEALTH CARE, JOBS AND THE ECONOMY

  (Mr. ROGERS of Alabama asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Today I rise to express how disappointed I am 
in this institution and the Presidency with what happened this last 
weekend. When we are in a Nation that is suffering from terrible 
unemployment and a dramatically poor economic position, to have this 
House and the President sign into law a job-killing piece of 
legislation that would put this Nation on the path to socialized 
medicine is unconscionable. Unfortunately, the country is going to 
suffer from now until the November elections when the Democrat majority 
will meet the consequences of their vote on Sunday.
  However, in the meantime, I urge the President and Speaker Pelosi to 
start working on the economy and jobs and trying to get people back to 
work. I don't know how they can sleep at night knowing that they 
haven't addressed this up till now, but we've got to start working on 
the economy, get cash back into the markets for small businesses and 
put people back to work.
