I want to thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding. I stand today heartbroken that something that we've meant for good here--myself and my colleague, Mr. Carney--a JOBS Act would be tied up in some heated rhetoric. I want to urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle that jobs aren't Democrat or Republican; they're American. People are begging for Congress to get out of the way and let the private sector get back in the business of creating jobs. That's what we're doing with this jobs bill that we're pushing through. So hopefully, hopefully, we can get beyond some feelings--hurt feelings maybe--and let's focus back on the reason why we were sent up here, and that's to put the people back in power and not Washington.
