                      PRESIDENT OBAMA'S JOBS BILL

  (Mr. SOUTHERLAND asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SOUTHERLAND. Madam Speaker, I rise today with great 
disappointment in the President's most recent proposed bill to create 
jobs. I was hopeful that the President would offer a commonsense, pro-
growth agenda. Unfortunately, the House continues to stand ready 
without a proposal that is acceptable.
  But this administration continues to offer the same tired, Big 
Government proposals. One example is the section that creates, in 17 
pages, a wholly government-owned corporation--that's right, government-
owned corporation--complete with a chief financial officer, chief risk 
officer, chief compliance officer, chief operations officer, chief 
lending officer, general counsel, board of directors, and billions of 
dollars in new taxpayer money.
  It appears once again that this administration is more focused on 
growing government than it is on growing jobs.
