On the recordJuly 20, 2010
Over the last several weeks, I've done numerous America Speaking Out town halls all across the 10th Congressional District in Georgia. And what I hear from my constituents, from the most liberal communities all the way to the most conservative ones, is people in my district are asking, ``Where are the jobs?'' They understand that our economy is suffering and they understand that the stimulus bill has been an abject failure. They want to say, ``Where are the jobs?'' and that's what they're saying through americaspeaking out.com. We need to get the ball rolling and leave dollars in the hands of small business, as well as the consumers, so that we can create jobs in the private sector. But that's not what our colleagues on the other side are doing. They're creating bigger government and creating more jobs in Washington, D.C., not in Georgia or any other State around this country. Only a few jobs are being created other than here. I encourage people to go on americaspeakingout.com and speak about what we should be doing right here in Congress today, what we should be focusing on. What I'm hearing the American people saying is, ``Where are the jobs?'' We're trying to answer that question.
