On House Floor -- June 9, 2010
Unedited Transcript from CQ
i am amazed and disheartened by congressional republicans' attempts to reinstitute the same flawed policies that created the economic crisis we find ourselves in today. congressional republicans are determined to abandon americans who have lost their jobs. and partner with special interest groups like the wall street banks, credit card companies, big oil, and insurance companies. their intent is shown in their voting record. republicans have voted against every major piece of economic legislation we have taken up this year. they voted no on the recovery act. they voted no to rein in banks through wall street reform. they even voted no for summer jobs. i am proud to be a democrat in this congress and stand up for hard, would going -- working americans. our party is dedicated to moving america in a new direction, creating good american jobs, lowering taxes for small businesses. and building a strong foundation for the economy and main street. the growing signs of economic recovery show our policies are working. american jobs have been created in six of the last seven months, averaging 200,000 a year. while more needs to be done, america is on the road to recovery. i yield back.

"Good" jobs are not government jobs.

90% of jobs created are government jobs.

Temporary census jobs.

Democrats spend $180k to create $40k jobs.

Democrats forced banks to loan to poor people that

can't pay for the loans. They caused this problem.

They grow dependent voters with our tax money.

They are bankrupting us all. 300% increase in 1 year.

Vote them out.

I like her will to push forward even if it is misguided.
