[0:00]" I am congressman Kevin Bright who -- reps in southeast Texas and congress. In serve as a lead house Republican on the joint economic committee which keeps tabs on America's economic help. There are three big myths hurtling around Washington these days. No jobs equal an economic recovery. Government run health care will make it more affordable. And deficits don't matter. The American public to their credit. Isn't buying any of these start with the economy. We're all pleased to see the stock market go up the middle class American knows hundreds of thousands of jobs are disappearing each month. Many of them may never reappear. As families in my communities across country watch the national unemployment rate close to topping double digits. With very few real signs of belief ahead. They have one question for the White House Mr. President. Where are the jobs. Last January the White House promised us all that if congress passed the massive trillion dollar stimulus bill jobs would be created immediately. In the unemployment rate would stay under 8%. Well since then nearly three million more Americans have lost their private sector jobs over two million. Have simply quit looking for work because they're so discouraged. And that's frightening. And over nine million Americans are working part time because they can't find a full time job. In those who do worry if they'll be the next person standing in the unemployment line. The truth is no jobs no recovery. Let's finally admit America's recovery can't be built. On the unsteady democratic doctrine of spending more borrowing more and higher taxes it's failing our families. The second minute. The government run health care will make -- more affordable. Americans and here no government interference drives costs up not down the massive healthcare planes being crafted behind closed doors in Washington. Will ultimately to allow the government decide what doctors we concede. But treatments the government thinks you deserve in what medicine you can receive. The Democrats planes are loaded with new federal mandates. And higher taxes on insurance plans treatments and equipment. All of which will be passed down to patience. New taxes on professionals and small businesses will drive jobs out of our economy and push more families into government run plan. At a time when families and workers want more choices in more options. Democrats in Washington are being -- on trading a one size fits all plan that Americans can just take or leave. And by the way these same democratic members of congress are making sure the day in their families aren't included in the plan. That should tell you something. The third minute deficits don't matter tell that your kids and grandkids -- with bad to say thirty years down the road. Whether it's wasteful stimulus spending. To cap and trade national energy tax that will put millions more out of work with trillion dollar health care experiment. Congressional Democrats are born in new holes in our economic ship. At a time when employees throughout America need a life preserver to help them stay afloat. Liberal policies that will keep people out of work longer. Will only make the deficit worse. Americans know the deficits matter to our dollar. To our economy to our future. The federal budget deficit tripled. To a record one point four trillion dollars this year. The government spent a 199. Billion dollars on interest alone. Are almost ten times entire budget for NASA. Under the Obama administration's budget. Our country is set to rack up six point seven trillion dollars in debt over the next decade. Almost equals all the federal debt accumulated in our nation's history. Democrats -- watched in continued pursuit costly policies that tax too much spent too much and borrowed too much all of which. Are discouraging small businesses from job creation an indentation. While launching our national debt into the stratosphere. Make no mistake our children and grandchildren will end up buried under a mountain of debt if we continue down this dangerous path of taxing. Spending and borrowing. Let's set aside the myths let's get real. Real economic growth starts from the people who take in the hardest hit in this recession are small businesses. It back to creating jobs. Is what these businesses that employ more than half our nation's workforce do best. Republicans wanna give them a new tax relief tools and get out of their way. Republicans remain hopeful that this is deep and painful recession will soon run its course but Americans deserve better than a jobless recovery. Which is no real recovery at all for American workers and families. Americans deserve affordable health care and they deserve a nation that can pay its debt and live within its means. That's what Republicans believe that's what will create jobs will grow our economy and put our nation back on the path long term prosperity. This is congressman Kevin Brady thanks for listening."
