                       SAVE AMERICAN WORKERS ACT

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, today's debate over the Save American Workers 
Act, which will attempt to fix another unintended consequence of 
ObamaCare, reminded me of the recent CBO report which estimated that 
regulatory changes created by ObamaCare would remove the equivalent of 
2.3 million Americans from the full-time workforce.
  Putting aside the tremendous human costs of this loss, let's simply 
consider the economic damage done to our Nation. Journalist Kevin 
Williamson compared removing 2.3 million from the full-time workforce 
to ``burning down 1,000 factories'' and further noted that ``that 2.3 
million workers exceeds the current workforces of McDonald's, IBM, UPS, 
Target, Hewlett-Packard, and General Electric, combined.''
  The Save American Workers Act will likely proceed to the Senate 
today, where it will join a cue of 30-plus other House-passed bills 
that would help the economy and create jobs.
  Americans want to work. Why won't the Senate do its job and consider 
those bills?
