mr. yodergallon of gasoline stands at $3.77 with no sign of relief in the near future. couple this with higher utility rates and americans are struggling under the weight of ever increasing energy costs. yet, washington continues to attempt to pile more regulations and higher taxes on energy producers in this country. let's be clear, higher energy taxes, more utility mandates and bigger regulatory burdens drive up the cost of energy production. washington will not lower energy costs for americans by placing further roadblocks in the way of energy production in this country. as workers sit idle waiting to construct the keystone x.l. and we remove government burdens and barriers, the american people are losing. it's time we get the federal government out of the way and work together towards bipartisan solutions that get america producing domestic sources of energy in all forms. let's lower energy costs for all americans and let's get our economy growing again. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlem

mr. yoder: many americans are struggling to pay for their bills and provide for their families. unfortunately, many of the policies coming out of the washington in the past years have prolonged our economic stability. with small businesses creating two out of every three jobs in this country, we need to support policies that eliminate costly regulations and open up new avenues for access to capital. that's why i'm happy to support the jobs act. this bipartisan legislation will help new business formation, open up access to capital and help businesses create jobs. madam speaker, let's work together in a bipartisan fashion, on the jobs act and other legislation, and let's help put americans back to work. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from texas seek recognition? ms. johnson: to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. johnson: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today in strong opposition to the ryan republican budget that will end medicare as we know it. reminiscent of last year, the re
