                  JOBS CAN'T GROW WHEN CASH FLOW SLOWS

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address a topic that 
concerns most Americans at this time, and that's jobs. The House has 
opposed the administration when they have proposed hitting job creators 
with new taxes or more regulatory burdens. So far this year, the House 
has passed a total of 17 job-creating bills. This week, the House will 
vote on two jobs bills that will enable small businesses and 
entrepreneurs to access more capital to create more jobs. Jobs can't 
grow when the cash doesn't flow. Smarter regulation and fewer 
roadblocks to capital will help job creators put more Americans back to 
work.
  We in Congress have the responsibility to give entrepreneurs and 
small business owners the business environment they need to unleash 
America's economic potential. That's what we were sent here to do, and 
that's what our constituents deserve.
