Over a period of years, the corrupt cubanbacked government has systemically a lotted and oppressed the people it purports to serve. I received an email from a friend today who has spent significant time in venezuela. He writes, quote, students, tired of the corruption, the crime, the killings, an economy spiraling out of control, a lack of free press, are peacefully demonstrating for their constitutional right against the government. The government, instead of protecting the students and others demonstrating, is attacking, arresting and often killing them. Mr. Speaker, the death toll is growing.

While they plead for a Better Future for the country, the government brutaly attacked its own citizens and clamps down on basic freedoms. Mr. Garcia this is not a democracy and no conscientious nation should remain silent. It is our responsibility to make sure the world knows full well what is happening in venezuela.

Marjorie from carmel recently wrote to tell me that coverage on the exchanges for her family will cost at least 1,500 a month.

For marjorie, ba ma cair is not fair. Mr. Speaker, too many hoosier, too many americans, have similar stories. The president has the layed the employer mandate for businesses twice. Ms. Brooks but hes offered no such relief for individual whors studsying. Thats why Steve Scalise and i introduced the fare act this simple bill ensures that whenever the obamacare employer mandate is delayed, the individual mandate will be delayed as well. House republicans understand that fairness means not treated people differently. It means government cannot pick and choose which laws aply to which americans.

Garamendi, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the minority leader. Mr. Garamendi thank you, mr. Speaker. Its actually mr. Garamendi and im delighted to be back on the floor once again with another wont take a whole hour here, but i wanted to talk about something thats very important to america and to the future of this country. Id like to start these discussions with, what are we all about . What should we be thinking about . I find myself often going back to Franklin Delano roosevelt, during a very difficult time in americas history, the great depression, he put forth a principle, if you would, a values statement, of what he was about and really what this country could and should be about and he said, the test of our progress is not whether we are whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. Its a values statement. Its a statement of what i like to believe im here for. To deal with this profound, important issue in this and other in this, another period of stress for the American Family. We often find ourselves here on the floor, and i do this almost ll the time, talking about this subject. The subject of making it in america. This is a manufacturing strategy for america and in this strategy there are many elements that we spend time on the floor talking about and legislation that we push here dealing with how to revive the Manufacturing Sector and in doing so give the American Family, the american middle class, an opportunity that it once had to find a goodpaying job, to be able to make it in america with their family. It provides for a home, for food, for clothing, for education, vacations, sort of the american dream. To be able to do those things. They knew if they would work hard theyd be eable to make it. One way of achieving that is with this strategy of rebuilding the american Manufacturing Sector to make it in america. Whether that is manufacturing food as occurs in my district, its a big agricultural district, or some of the new technologies of biotechnologies of one sort or another. The high tech industry. The Automotive Industry is coming back. Endeed for a variety of reasons, some of it had to do with legislative agenda, weve seen the revival of the american Manufacturing Sector. Good. Wonderful. Thats where the middle class jobs will largely come from. There are various pieces of this, theres the trade policy, theres debate on the floor now and in the months ahead about the transpacific partnership, is it going to be fair trade or free trade. We dont need free trade what we need is fair trade. The tax policies, certainly we see this in the kind of tax breaks that are out there, does the oil industry need additional tax brecks . Do they need to be their incomes, which are the largest profits in the world, do they need to be supplemented with american taxpayer money . Right now they are. The big five, 6 billion a year of american taxpayer money, going to them. We talk about tax policy, we talk energy policy, but i want to focus this evening on these two issues. Labor and education. Leaving aseed the research issue, which is fundamental to future Economic Growth because you have to be ahead and thats where the research comes and the infrastructure, which ill weave into this but i want to focus on labor and education. And i want to focus on a very important part of this equation. This very important part about the middle class. And those who want to be in the middle class. Specifically, i want to talk about women. And i want to talk about a womens economic agenda. About why this is critically important. Not just to women and their children and the families, but also to america. And to americas future. We know that the American Family has changed. We know that over the years more and more families are raised by a single parent. And in most cases thats a single mother. And so a womens economic agenda is critical for those children. Its also visitcal for the American Economy. Critical for the American Economy. Because when women succeed, america succeeds. This is a theme were going to spend a lot of time talking about. Were going to talk about women in the American Economy and their success. And here are three of the principles. That we need to talk from. About. Americas success. Is dependent upon the success of women. Because women are a major part of our work force today. And theyre a major part of the poverty issue in america. One in three women in america are living in poverty. Or teatering on the brink of poverty. Thats 42 million women, plus the 28 million children who depend upon them. And the American Family has change
