                        BARRIERS TO JOB CREATION

  (Mr. SCALISE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCALISE. Madam Speaker, this House and this Congress need to be 
focused on job creation. In fact, this House has passed scores of 
legislation out of the House over to the Senate that would create 
millions of American jobs. Yet the Senate refuses to take any action on 
them.
  And what do we get from the President? We get more of the same class 
warfare and failed stimulus legislation. Of course, his first stimulus 
was such a disaster. We had a hearing last week that exposed the 
Solyndra scandal. That's the company that the President used as the 
poster child for the stimulus bill 2 years ago. And what happened? The 
taxpayers are on the hook right now for over $530 million of money that 
was thrown away by this company that the President called a year ago 
the ``future of this country.''
  Well, I don't want a future of bankruptcy, I don't want a future of 
scandal, and I don't want a future of the radical regulations and this 
class warfare that this President has given to this country. We need to 
create American jobs. We need to get these crazy regulations off the 
backs of our small business owners and create jobs in America.
