                              JOB CREATION

  (Mr. DOYLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Speaker, America was founded on the principle that 
everyone should get a shot at the American Dream. But with so much 
unemployment, so many mortgages underwater, so many people struggling 
just to get by, it's not surprising that half of all Americans think 
the American Dream is dead.
  This Congress should be making job creation our top priority. But 
what has the majority in the House done to create jobs? Nothing.
  What's even worse, every job proposal that President Obama has sent 
to this House has been met with a resounding ``no.'' And what's their 
alternative? To do nothing.
  Democrats have been working to pass legislation to grow this economy 
and create new jobs. After 42 weeks of doing nothing, it's time for the 
Republican majority to join us in giving the American people the jobs 
they need and deserve.
