mr. cantor: mr. speaker, i thank the gentleman. i would say always mindful of opinion makers, compen tators, economists, and their view as to what's going on here in washington. but i would say to the gentleman, i think we have been down the road that the gentleman suggests is preferable before. we on this floor passed a nearly $800 billion stimulus bill, at least the gentleman's side passed it, and we saw the effects of spending that kind of money did not produce the kind of job creation that was desired or was promised. and if i recall some of the economists that the gentleman refers to probably were ones that supported the notion that the stimulus bill would make sure that unemployment didn't exceed 8%. if we went ahead and spent that money. i think we tried that before. the gentleman also knows that we are borrowing nearly 40 cents out of every dollar we are spending. that is unsustainable. and so the gentleman's focus is spend more money from washington to create jobs, then essentially we are cr

mr. cantor. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. cantor: i thank the gentlelady. mr. chairman from day one, the majority of this congress promised the american people that we would focus like a laze own producing results. other the past few months, we have already begun to deliver that promise by upending the culture of spending that prevailed in washington and replace it with a culture of savings. the most important thing government can do right now is to create an environment that fosters opportunity for people. but if you talk to small businesses and entrepreneurs who create johns, they'll tell you that the explosion of government debt is threatening their ability to innovate and compete. unless we move swiftly to change course, our economy will be consumed by fears of future tax increases an higher borrowing costs. that's why our majority is dedicated to our cut and grow agenda cutting spending and job-destroying regulations and growing private sector jobs in the economy. yesterday, we took another significant step toward reurn -

mr. cantor and mr. king? >> it should not be. in the lead up to this hearing, we met with the numbers of members of this committee and other members of congress. where the article gets it right is that even some members of the republican majority in the house are uncomfortable with the rhetoric. i think that mr. king has gone too far. it will be interesting to see how that discomfort manifest itself in the next couple of days. will there be republican members who will go down a different path? i will recognize that the focus on the american muslim community is the wrong way to go. there is a legitimate point of studying domestic terrorism is a valid point of focus in it on the american muslim community is the wrong way to go. >> let me try to get in as many questions as possible. >> i think the concern is that you are hearing that religion is not need to be a part of the conversation. we want to understand extremism and not have our country torn apart along religious lines. that has happened before. when kennedy was running for p

mr. cantor: i thank the speaker. i thank the gentleman. for the past several years, the conversation in washington is how much we can increase in spending. today the debate is centered on how much we can increase savings. on november 2 voters sent a message that they will not sit by as congress spends our way into national decline. it was a statement of rejection towards the buildup of debt and burdensome regulation that continues to crowd the prospects for the future. the new republican majority has responded with a cut and grow agenda designed to help with the results. growing private sector jobs in the economy is one of those. last month we voted to cut spending down to 2008 levels. today, through our youcut program, we offer american taxpayers the opportunity to recoup roughly $300 million in wasteful spending. the savings comes from terminating a program funded in the dodd-frank regulatory bill. this mandatory spending program allegedly provides loans to homeowners potentially facing foreclosure but is estimated that the subsidy rate,

mr. brady. >> peter, thank you to leader cantor and whit mccarthy for being here today. for the past two years, the american people have been told the only way for a path forward to economic recovery was more federal spending that drove up federal debt in the white house and washington democrats, unfortunately, continue to cling to this failed economic model, refusing to listen to voices of respected mainstream economists here in the united states. the job gap between their promises and the results is significant and disappointing. after throwing nearly $5 trillion in fiscal and monetary stimulus at the economy, there are actual 2 million fewer jobs today than when the stimulus began. the white house promised the unemployment rate would be down to 6.9% by now, and as for total jobs in america today, the white house fell short of their promises by 7 million american workers. the government spending is the answer crowd had their chance to jump start the economy. they failed. it's time for a proven approach. republicans in congress are determined to remove barriers to new j

what they said, eric cantor said, oh, we shouldn't get paid. listen, mr. president, i don't know if you know this, what they did. they wrote a bill that said we won't get paid, but in that bill it says h.r. 1 will be deemed having passed if the senate doesn't pass it by april 6. so they have taken the most extreme bill in american history with cuts that experts say -- mark zandi, a republican economist -- will lose 700,000 jobs. a bill that is so extreme that it tells the e.p.a. they can't enforce the law. and then they attach to it the no budget, no pay. not good enough. h.r. 1 is not passing. they can say they deem it passed. that's like my saying i deem every bill that i write passed. i've written a lot of bills. the violence against children act. i could tell you the bills i've passed to give tax breaks to people who work at home. i have bill upon bill. i would love to say if we don't act on it, i deem it passed. what are they talking about over there? it office odd behavior -- it's odd behavior. it's odd. i don't know what else to say. so i say to the

mr. speaker, when i come to the floor to speak about our country's recent fiscal history, i'm often told there's no point in looking back. but majority leader cantor got it entirely right when he wrote this. the future will not be won by repeating the mistakes of the past. the future will not be won by repeating the mistakes of the past. unfortunately, however, we are proceeding on a path that shows little inclination to live by those words. once again, our republican colleagues are using the language of fiscal responsibility. but pursuing policies of fiscal irresponsibility. our colleagues across the aisle trumpet the cut in -- the $100 billion they voted to cut from discretionary spending, however, their actions belie those words. their very first action in this new congress was to approve policies, a rule package that would provide for borrowing an additional $5 trillion. unpaid for. their budget plcy -- policy would give us the worst of both worlds. on one hand they failed to take on the fiscal challenges and frankly there is blame to shear across this chamber, republicans an democrats, for failing to take on those challenges. but the policies
