                     JOBS AREN'T MADE WITH RED TAPE

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, it is not surprising that many Americans think 
the Federal Government is out of touch. Washington is filled with 
unelected regulators who have never owned a small business or created a 
job. These regulators are disconnected from the costs their rules 
impose on small businesses, which amount to roughly $8,000 per employee 
each year.
  Regulators fail to see that each unnecessary, duplicative, or 
contradictory rule they impose forces American entrepreneurs to waste 
time and money satisfying government instead of hiring new employees or 
investing in their families.
  The American people are asking, ``Where are the jobs?'' and they are 
asking for a government that makes sense. No one is asking for more 
redtape.
  House Republicans don't just talk about jobs. We defend them, and we 
take action to make it easier for job creators to grow and hire. 
Cutting back Washington's red tape is part of that work.
