Joe Baca said "It's been 27 weeks since the Republicans took control of the House, and they have yet to bring one single jobs bill to this floor. In San Bernardino County, my constituents face a 13 percent unemployment rate. But instead of taking swift action to create new jobs, Republicans are threatening the loss of countless more jobs by taking the debt ceiling negotiation to another brink. And why are they doing this? To protect billionaires, millionaires, and corporations that ship jobs overseas. We all know that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy have failed--have failed--to create any new jobs here at home. And they are threatening Social Security and Medicare to protect these unneeded tax breaks, which is wrong. No taxes, no jobs. No taxes, no jobs. Let's come together on a plan that creates jobs, protects our seniors and the middle class, and do it responsibly to deal with the deficit. ___________________
