mr. speaker, today we learned that 46 million americans are living in poverty. more people are suffering economically than at any time since the great depression. mr. moran: but we learned from an excellent article by scott lily of the center for american progress that history maybe repeating itself. in 1937 conservative republicans succeeded in virtually eliminating the federal jobs programs of the new deal so as to eliminate the federal deficit. but the results were catastrophic to america's economy and society. half of the eight million jobs that have been created by the new deal were lost and unemployment went over 19%. economists generally classify the economic reversal of 1937 and 1938 as a second depression, not until military spending began to revive activity in 1940 did unemployment again drop to less than 15%. that was a long and painful experience. it would be tragedy figure we permitted the new conservative crowd in washington to repeat it by killing president obama's jobs act and sending us back into a double dip recession. those who don't learn from

mr. obama said it was an urgent time for the u.s. with an economic crisis that had left millions out of work. he said an american jobs act would help construction workers, teachers, and the long-term unemployed. mr. obama called on congress to pass the measure immediately, saying the question now was whether politicians could stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy. president obama spelled out the action he was intending to take. >> i am sending this congress a plan that you should pass right away. it's called the american jobs act. there should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. everything in here is the kind of proposal that's been supported by both democrats and republicans. including many who sit here tonight. and everything in this bill will be paid for, everything.

by 2.9 million workers over the last decade while increasing employment overseas by 2.4 million. mr. speaker, this final amendment does not kill the bill. it simply allows the cops to go after the robbers. it allows the nlrb to enforce the law when someone violates the law. the amendment does nothing to prevent private businesses from making decisions about where their operations are best located as long as that activity is not in violation of the national labor relations act. again, this is just common sense. a vote for this final amendment is a vote to protect american jobs from outsourcing. i urge my colleagues to join me in protecting american jobs and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from minnesota rise? mr. kline: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to the motion to recommit. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. kline: thank you, mr. speaker. i appreciate the words of my colleague from new york. but if he and others on the othe

but i guarantee you, you would miss that first class stamp and the 140 million or so addresses still served by old mrzip here. so what to do? well, the usps is a quasi government organization. it has to make enough money to pay the freight but can't make the changes in how the operates like eliminating saturday delivery without the permission of congress. what business can run that way? the postmaster told the government he doesn't want any federal money. he wants enough flexibility to survive. the white house says it is sending a plan to do that, and i hope they know it absolutely positively should have been there yesterday. >> you know, i have to say, stop by the post office saturday before labor day and i'm shocked and appalled it's closed. the one day i need it but i haven't been there in months. >> okay. it's all right. >> i know. lesson learned. thank you, derek. >>> okay. what is going on? >> we're going to have river flooding. there is no doubt about it. a different scenario with irene. all of the rain with irene is east. i 95. the heavy rain is in the mountains and that does not bowed well f

mr. himes: economists of all political stripes tell us this will create 1.9 million jobs and it does it in part by making sure that u.s. taxpayer dollars are spent on u.s. jobs by applying the buy american provisions. mr. murphy: we should pass the american jobs act and take this simple idea that u.s. taxpayer dollars should go to u.s. jobs and go to every corner of the federal government. for instance, we could create another 600,000 jobs on top of the 1.9 million if we just cleaned up loopholes that allow for thousands of defense contracts to go to overseas companies. you see, rhetoric on the floor of the house of representatives doesn't create jobs. real now-focused policies do like the american jobs act and buy america policy. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? mr. poe: i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. poe: mr. speaker, the palestinians are going to the united nations to seek some type of recognition as a state, but this decision should only be decided with dire

mr. speaker in august of 2009, the president stated, quote, you do not raise taxes in a recession. this week, the same president proposed $1.5 trillion in higher taxes as more than 14 million americans are without jobs. the president's tax increase proposal is based on the false belief that big government can spend the money of hardworking american families better than the people who have earned it. tax increases destroy jobs. you cannot create jobs by raising taxes. so far this president's policy has failed. zero new jobs were created in august. by passing numerous bills that focus on getting americans back to work, house republicans have focused on job creation since january. it's time for this administration to change from failed policies. in conclusion, god bless our
