Where Are The Jobs?

Floor Speech

Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, we are being told today by our friends, the Democrats, to trust Washington and to trust them. Yet the Obama-Pelosi legislation which passed this House earlier last year promised that, if Congress passed the $787 billion stimulus package, national unemployment would never rise above 8 percent. Today, the national unemployment is 9.7 percent and is hovering near a 25-year high.

I think it is time for the American people to recognize that the answers do not all reside here in Washington, D.C., but that we need to take care of our business. Our business should not be about trying to do a lot of things to a lot of other people but to focus on jobs for this country. Jobs are the number one issue. Jobs are the things which will spur the American entrepreneurship and the creativity that will allow us to be competitive with the world.
