There is one question. The question is: Where are the jobs? We are at 9.5 percent unemployment and nearly 15 million people out of work. Since President Obama has been elected, we've spent over $6.1 trillion in just these 18 months. Why are there no jobs? Because there is uncertainty displayed by this administration and this Congress--there is uncertainty on energy costs, there is uncertainty about health care costs, there is uncertainty about taxes. Like a businessman told me just yesterday, you can't raise our taxes and expect us to hire more people and create new jobs.
