                     BUDGET COMMITTEE DOESN'T MEET

  (Mrs. LUMMIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Speaker, I am on the Budget Committee, but the 
Budget Committee doesn't meet. Maybe the reason the Budget Committee 
doesn't meet is because they don't want you to see this chart.
  If we look at this chart, and we look at the blue lines, the blue 
lines are private-sector employment. It is the private economy 
employment, the job creators, the revenue creators. Look at the Bush 
years, those are the years going up. Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush. Look 
at the Pelosi years. Those are the years going down. Pelosi, Pelosi, 
Pelosi.
  The private-sector jobs dropped under Nancy Pelosi. They went up 
under George Bush. Now look at the red line. The red line is George 
Bush. The red line for government employment is flat.
  But look at the Pelosi line. The Pelosi line for government 
employment goes up, up, up, up.
  So, under Pelosi, private-sector jobs go down. Government jobs go up. 
The private sector pays for the public sector, but there are no 
private-sector jobs. Maybe that's why the Budget Committee won't meet, 
Mr. Speaker.
