  (Mr. BACA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BACA. Madam Speaker, it's been 27 weeks since the Republicans 
took control of the House, and they have yet to bring one single jobs 
bill to this floor.
  In San Bernardino County, my constituents face a 13 percent 
unemployment rate. But instead of taking swift action to create new 
jobs, Republicans are threatening the loss of countless more jobs by 
taking the debt ceiling negotiation to another brink. And why are they 
doing this? To protect billionaires, millionaires, and corporations 
that ship jobs overseas.
  We all know that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy have failed--have 
failed--to create any new jobs here at home. And they are threatening 
Social Security and Medicare to protect these unneeded tax breaks, 
which is wrong. No taxes, no jobs. No taxes, no jobs.
  Let's come together on a plan that creates jobs, protects our seniors 
and the middle class, and do it responsibly to deal with the deficit.
