Mr. Chairman, I think when the gentlewoman brought up there are 61 women here representing the people of this Nation, I think that we should also remember those people who are on Social Security disability. My son was on Social Security disability, and it got us through some very, very hard times. There are millions and millions of people with disabilities that are counting on Social Security also, and I do not think we should forget them.

We need to do better, and I am pleased to be working with employers to help grow the size of the disability labor force to six million by 2015.
But we must do it in a way that protects the recovery, protects the investments we need to grow, create jobs, and helps us win the future.
We must come together, reduce our deficit, and get back on a path that will allow us to pay down our debt.
We need to preserve the middle class by continuing extended unemployment benefits.
