Republicans' "No-Job Agenda"

Floor Speech

(Mr. ELLISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. ELLISON. Mr. Speaker, we've now entered about the 55th day when the Republican majority has been in control of the House, and they've yet to introduce a single bill to create a single job for anyone anywhere.

The Republican majority has, however, introduced cuts to our national budget that will take away vital programs and cut jobs--cut jobs like cops and nurses and teachers and things like that.

The Republican majority doesn't seem to be interested in jobs, and their no-job agenda will not escape the view of the American people.

The American people sent us all here to make sure that we have a more perfect Union, that we have prosperity in our land. We don't have it because unemployment is just too high, and the Republican majority is not doing a thing about it.

It's time to get on with the business of creating jobs and get rid of the Republican no-job agenda.
