               PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FAILED ECONOMIC POLICIES

  (Mr. BRADY of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Madam Speaker, the President's jobs message was 
clear and powerful: Government made America great, and government can 
make it great again. This misguided view explains why 2 years after the 
recession supposedly ended, we are still left suffering with a second-
rate economy that is being held up to ridicule by the world as our 
Nation sinks deeper into debt and 22 million Americans can't find work.
  I was looking for real leadership--an admission the President's 
economic policies have failed and a call for a new start, a fresh new 
direction for this dismal economy. Other than the call for passing the 
free trade agreements, which the President himself continues to hold 
up, what America witnessed was a shopping cart of gimmicks to special 
interest voting blocs paid for by crushing tax increases on the very 
consumers and job creators we need to get out of this dismal economy.
  If you liked the leadership of the last 2 years on the economy, 
you're going to love this President's jobs agenda.
