As the 113th Congress comes to a close. we do so leaving almost 400 bills that have passed the peoples House that we sent to the Senate which create jobs. reduce government waste. and support investment in our Nations future. yet these bills were never even considered or voted upon by the Senate. and they were never heard from again. As evidenced by the recent elections. the American people reject this blatant partisanship. they reject the dysfunction of the Senate. and they reject the unilateral action by the executive branch to run roughshod over the voice of the people. As the national debt soared past $18 trillion last week. we were reminded that it is time to roll up our sleeves and get to work to reduce spending and balance our budgets. to promote energy independence. and to create jobs and grow our economy. to fix our broken immigration system. and to ensure the safety and security of the American people. Mr. Speaker. we know there is much work to be done.
