  (Mr. KILDEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILDEE. Well, Mr. Speaker, I just got back from spending a week 
at home in Michigan talking with the people that I work for and meeting 
with small business owners. I heard a lot of frustration--frustration 
about the priorities of the Republican leadership in the House and of 
Congress in general.
  Instead of legislation to create jobs here in America to make it 
easier for hardworking families to buy their own home, to afford to 
send their kids to school, and to save for retirement, this Congress 
has bounced from one manufactured political crisis to the next and has 
not taken on the big challenges that the people sent us here to take 
on.
  Let's put away this dysfunction and this paralysis. Let's get back to 
the work of the American people.
  As we now are set to consider our Nation's budget, let's make sure 
that the priorities of the American people--good paying jobs, 
affordable college, homeownership, and the ability to save for a decent 
retirement--that those priorities are the priorities that we include in 
this important budget document. This is what the American people expect 
of us, and this is what we should take on.
