“Mr. Speaker, the number of new unemployment benefit claims jumped last week to 496,000 Americans. More people out of work, more people looking for those promised jobs. Meanwhile, a year later, we're bogged down debating the administration's $1 trillion government-run health care bill, a government-created problem that most Americans flatly reject.
