                        LET'S INVEST IN AMERICA

  (Ms. HAHN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. HAHN. Mr. Speaker, it's 2012; and this is the year we need to 
create jobs and get our economy moving again. Without a growing 
economy, our budget deficit will only get worse. It's time that we 
boldly invest in America.
  My friends on the Democratic side want to invest in education and 
infrastructure, creating jobs now and building our future. My 
Republican friends, on the other hand, want to cut spending on Social 
Security and Medicare. The Democrats want the wealthiest of Americans 
to pay their fair share, and my friends on the Republican side oppose 
even asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share.
  We need to make the right choices this year. Let's invest in America.
