We were losing how many jobs a month? We were losing 800,000 jobs a month when our President took over. The country was falling apart. He saved the auto industry--it is back on top--when others said: Let them go bankrupt. He started the job creation. It is not good enough, but I will tell my colleagues one thing: If we are going to make it better, we better start working together. Let's live by the Budget Control Act that is the law of the land, and let's use that time to find a long-term solution, as we did in the Clinton years. Thank you very much. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alabama.
