Where Are The Jobs?

Mr. HELLER. Mr. Speaker, August 17th is an important date. Yes, it is my wife's birthday. Thanks for remembering that. But it is also the six-month anniversary of the stimulus. Let's go back six months.

Mr. Speaker, remember when the President promised that unemployment, if this bill passed, would not go above 8 percent? Maybe that was hope.

Remember when the Speaker said jobs, jobs, jobs? Maybe that was hope.

Remember when the majority leader said we would see immediate results if this particular piece of legislation passed? They were all hollow promises, hollow promises for bad legislation.

This August 17th, my wife is going to ask: Where are the jobs? I am going to ask: Where are the jobs? Nevadans are going to ask: Where are the jobs? Americans are going to ask: Where are the jobs?

Happy birthday, sweetheart.
