I couldn't agree more. As a matter of fact, unemployment has never been lower since the day President Obama was sworn into office. I'm a freshman Member of Congress. I had the privilege of sitting in this Chamber for the President's State of the Union address. And the President said in that State of the Union address that he was going to ask for a regulatory review of the executive branch. He wanted to know what they were going to be doing, and he would make jokes about some of the ridiculous regulations. And what we've done now--we've got one more President who's followed the traditions of dozens of Presidents who have ordered another study. In the meantime, the American people suffer while we study something that we already know. This is not so much about whether the government can create jobs. It's about whether the government is obstructing job creation, which is exactly what's happening. And that's why we decided to pick that number.

I feel that if we are going to continue to incent American shipbuilding, which the Navy needs, and we are going to be fair and honest to those shipyards, keeping our word to the letter of the contract is fairly essential to that end.
