                     REPUBLICAN SOLUTIONS FOR JOBS

  (Mr. HENSARLING asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, regrettably for the American people, 
they see a nonrecovery recovery. Millions of our fellow citizens remain 
unemployed and underemployed. That's why House Republicans are working 
to make the Tax Code fairer, flatter, simpler, more competitive, so 
America can go back to work, but so far we're hearing silence from the 
White House. We want red tape reform. That is strangling small business 
people.
  Madam Speaker, I heard one small business person in my district say, 
``It's just like the Federal Government doesn't want me to succeed.'' 
We need to unchain them. We need to cut the red tape and allow them to 
create jobs.
  Finally, the Affordable Care Act is not affordable for our American 
citizens. It is not affordable to small businesses. It is harming job 
creation and costing trillions of dollars and potentially millions of 
jobs. Republicans want to repeal it.
  This is an agenda to help create jobs for America when Americans need 
growth, hope, and opportunity.
