“I want to just clear up a couple of things. First, I heard the very distinguished gentlewoman from Colorado mention job creators. I assume she was responding to President Biden since 12 million new jobs have been created under President Biden, whereas millions of jobs were lost under the prior President, who may be a favorite of the gentlewoman's. I also wanted to make just a brief semantic point because the gentlewoman was making a grammatical error that I heard some of her colleagues make before. I believe she referred to a ``Democrat solution.'' I heard another Member talk about a ``Democrat Member'' and a ``Democrat plan.'' I just wanted to educate our distinguished colleagues that ``Democrat'' is the noun. When you use it as an adjective, you say the ``Democratic Member,'' or the ``Democratic solution,'' or the ``Democratic plan.''
