BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. CHU. So be it. That's what Republicans are saying to 700,000 American workers who will be needless casualties of their gutting and slashing funding bill.

So be it. That's the Republican attitude to a government shutdown if they don't force more cuts, destroying more jobs.

So be it. That's the Republican message to one out of every eleven Americans struggling to find work.

The GOP continuing resolution does nothing to create jobs. In fact, it takes a step backward, weakening our economic recovery. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised. Over the last 8 weeks since the Republicans took over control of the House, they haven't created a single job. What's worse, they haven't even put a single jobs bill on the House floor.

So while Republicans say so be it, I say stop the war on working families and show me the jobs.
