                 MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES

  (Ms. JENKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. JENKINS. Whether it's jobs or our Nation's debt, the economy is 
still the number one issue for hardworking Americans. But, instead of 
supporting initiatives like the Keystone pipeline, something that would 
create 20,000 jobs and help secure our energy supply, this 
administration continues to pursue the same failed economic policies. 
Their budget adds over $8 trillion to the debt, raises taxes by another 
trillion dollars, and they continue to support a burdensome health care 
law that does nothing to address the issue of rising costs.
  The House is working on solutions to create a stronger, healthier 
economy with more jobs and opportunities for all Americans. We have 
passed legislation to replace the sequester, to balance the budget, to 
repeal the President's health care law, and we're working on reforming 
our broken Tax Code to make it more fair and efficient.
  It's time for the administration to get on board: stop creating 
problems like politically motivated flight delays and start helping to 
make life easier for American families.
