mr. wilson: mr. speaker, in early 2009, the president assured the nation that his bill which provides for the stimulus, which has failed, the borrow and spending, would reduce unemployment and not exceed 8%. january marks the 35th straight month that the nation's unemployment rate has remained above 8%. last year, house republicans followed through with their commitment to the american people and passed 28 job creating bills. most with bipartisan support. all of these pieces of legislation remain stalled in the liberal-controlled senate where bills are denied debate or a vote because of the gridlock in the senate and the president's failed policies, the american people are losing faith in government officials. as we begin a new year, i hope the senate will take immediate action for the american people by passing legislation that promotes jobs. in conclusion, god bless our troops an we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. f
