On the recordOctober 6, 2011
Last week I sponsored a job fair in my home State of Delaware in Georgetown. The good news is that nearly 2,000 people turned out to meet 55 employers, some of whom had jobs for them. The bad news is that so many people out there are looking for work. Thousands of people in Delaware and millions across the country are looking for work. Mr. Speaker, it's time we vote a jobs bill here in the House of Representatives. The President set up the American Jobs Act. It contains infrastructure investments on roads, highways, and schools. It contains tax cuts for small business. These are things that we could all agree on here in Congress, and they will help businesses create the jobs that people need right way in our districts. It's time we do what the people sent us here to do in Washington. It's time to pass a jobs bill here in the House of Representatives. ____________________
