American Jobs Agenda

Floor Speech

Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to talk about jobs today.

The Republicans have taken us through a no-jobs winter agenda, a no-jobs spring agenda, a no-jobs summer agenda, and now we are about to enter fall. Everybody is talking about jobs but they're not really doing anything, other than blaming the President. It's been 250 days since Republicans have had control of this body. Not one single jobs bill has passed.

Yesterday, the President gave us a specific plan, but we've already heard from some colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they will not be in support of it. Is this a part of their no-jobs agenda for the fall? It looks like it. It's certainly not leadership, and it's not governance.
