              RECOGNIZING THE SUCCESS OF THE RECOVERY ACT

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind my 
colleagues about where we are today and where we were under the 
dreadful 8-year Bush administration. At the end of that administration, 
we were losing 800,000 jobs every month, and today we are on track to 
create more jobs this year than were created during all 8 years of the 
last administration.
  Say it again? I will. At the end of the last administration, 800,000 
jobs were being lost each month, and we are on track this year to 
create more jobs than were created during all 8 years of the previous 
administration.
  According to the Council of Economic Advisers, the Recovery Act has 
boosted employment in my State, Georgia, by 84,000 jobs.
  It's like that, and that's the way it is.
