                            JOBS, JOBS, JOBS

  (Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Jobs, jobs, jobs. That's what 
people back home want--jobs. Everybody I know wants a job. People stand 
in line, they want a job. And so now we are at this crucial deadline, 
and the Republicans want to shut down the government because their 
strategy for this year is just to gut everything, everything, anything, 
700,000 jobs, 800,000 jobs, depends who you are talking to. If you are 
talking to the Moody's person, it's 700,000. If you're talking to the 
Economic Institute, it's 800,000.
  So while they concentrate on eliminating jobs, I believe most of us 
here, Democrats, are working hard to understand what's an investment, 
how do we help people to get their next job? Where do they get their 
education? Where do they get their training? How about building the 
high-speed rail, for example, in California, to create jobs? I think 
Republicans need to get back to work.
