                     REPUBLICAN SOLUTIONS FOR JOBS

  (Mrs. NOEM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. NOEM. Madam Speaker, the Democrats who run Washington, D.C., 
continue to lead this country down an irresponsible path: a ceaseless 
march of regulations out of Washington threatens to choke off American 
innovation; government spending continues at unsustainable levels; and 
the specter of ObamaCare, it looms large over every sector of our 
economy.
  Is it any wonder that we continue to see stagnant job numbers like 
those released last week? Nearly 12 million Americans are out of work, 
4.4 million of them with no job for 6 months or more.
  Simply put, it's not fair. It's not fair to any American, which is 
why House Republicans are committed to securing the future for all 
Americans. We have a plan to create jobs and expand opportunity, and 
we'll do it by growing the economy, not by growing the government.
