[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 2] [House] [Page 1759] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]RECOVERY ACT IS WORKING (Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. JACKSON LEE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, let me tell you, here are the jobs. I believe if you polled across America you would understand that the investment that this Democratic Congress made, along with its President, created or saved 3.5 million jobs, gave 95 percent of American workers a tax cut, and began to build our crumbling rail and water and a variety of infrastructure. Where are the jobs? I will tell you, 2.4 million jobs were created according to the Congressional Budget Office, nonpartisan, $120 billion in tax cuts to 95 percent of our working families and to businesses, loaned nearly $20 billion to our small businesses creating or saving a job. What I like most of all is the 300,000 jobs in education and the 400,000 jobs in corrections officers and public health personnel. Let's ask all the firefighters and police officers across America whether or not there were jobs. Mr. Speaker, I will tell you that we have invested in America. We had an economy that wasn't growing when we came in, down some 6 percent. Now it's up. We have the jobs, and we are going to do health care reform this morning as well. We are working for the American people. ____________________
