This is not where we are just picking a number out of the sky. And this is not all they need. We are trying to give them a little bit more, and I will yield to Ms. Wasserman Schultz in a minute and she will talk about what is being checked and what is not being checked. We are trying to do something about it. We are trying to protect America. So it goes on, Mr. Delahunt, and Ms. Wasserman Schultz, and it goes on and on. If we had enough time, I could read all this off. So when folks start talking about where are the Democrats on this issue, just because the Republicans say it, it does not necessarily mean it is true. We have facts, Madam Speaker, and the Congressional Record on our side and commitment to the American people and the safety of our country on our side. The bottom line is that the Republican majority talks about things, and we do things. When we are in the majority, we will do it. We will not talk about it. We will talk about what we have done and how we are doing it. Ms. Wasserman Schultz, can you share with the Members this chart?

One of the things I want to bring to the attention of the Committee is that unemployment in Florida is 9.4 percent, and in other parts of the State it's even higher.
When you run into these kinds of situations, and folks start saying, 'Well, I'm more loyal to my own personal principle,' meanwhile, they're not maxed out on their credit cards, they're not waiting in line for a job.
We have a lot more work to do, and we are monitoring all of the things that we have to do and those that were not accomplished----
