we know we need to focus on cutting our spending. We know we need to focus on the tax reform effort. I think everybody generally agrees on that. Although they may disagree on what the particulars would be, they agree we need to do those two things. The third thing we also must do is to focus on the economy and jobs. This is something that we have seen in this country over the last 2 rac{1}{2} years, where we have gone through a very harsh, very difficult recession and we have seen an unemployment number that stays stubbornly high. We have seen a lot of topsy-turvy economic numbers over the last 2 rac{1}{2} years, and I believe the Congress--the House and Senate--and the White House need to set the table for job creation and economic growth in this country, and we need to do it in a very smart way. Today, I am here to talk about the angel investment tax credit bill I am introducing.
