Madam Speaker, the cynicism on the part of the Democratic leadership is interesting. It was just announced yesterday that the Obama health care plan will net lose America 800,000 jobs. But it's also true that it will create millions of jobs, but it destroys millions more, a net 800,000 jobs. The Republican Party is here because of the miserable failure of the Democrat leadership in this House of Representatives and our President who has ruined millions of jobs in this country, and that is why the Republican Party is here to do something about that. Don't worry, we'll be adding millions of jobs. Madam Speaker, at this time I would like to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Scott), a freshman member of the Republican leadership.
