                   MR. PRESIDENT, WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

  (Mr. HENSARLING asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, we found out last week that new business 
creation is at a 17-year low, and Americans are asking, Mr. President, 
where are the jobs?
  Unemployment has now languished at the highest level since the Great 
Depression, and Americans are asking, Mr. President, where are the 
jobs?
  One in seven families is now on food stamps, and Americans are 
asking, Mr. President, where are the jobs?
  The Bureau of Labor Statistics released that the time it takes to get 
a new job is at an all-time high, and Americans are asking, Mr. 
President, where are the jobs?
  House Republicans have a plan for America's job creators to put the 
Nation on a fiscally sustainable path to restore confidence, to make 
our Tax Code competitive, and to take the burden of regulation off our 
job creators so that American workers can get the paychecks they need 
and deserve.
