I thank you very much for bringing us the overall view of this. You are quite correct about the small businesses. Let me just put this pie chart up here. Small business is where 64 percent of all new jobs have been created over the last 15…

I can go through each one of those numbers that my colleague from the wonderful State of New York talked about. California, similarly, would receive very, very significant benefits. However, we need to look at the reality of what is…

Thank you very much for joining us this evening. Before I turn to my colleague from California, I want to just emphasize the point that the President's American Jobs program is balanced, fully paid for. It's paid for with a fair tax. We…

Excuse me. May I interrupt? You and three of your colleagues or four of your colleagues have undertaken a program to try to live on the unemployment insurance?

Thank you for the opportunity to present here on the floor the solution to the question that was just raised by my colleague from the Republican side of the aisle. A month ago, the President laid out a plan that would create millions of…

I'd be fascinated to hear. I know that your constituents have been very, very active, and I know that over the years you have been superactive. Please share those tweets with us.
