This Week from Congresswoman Betty McCollum
Madam Speaker, today the House of Representatives is voting on a jobs bill that will keep Americans working. This is a jobs bill that will keep 161,000 teachers in the classroom rather than in the unemployment line.

Passing this jobs bill is not a luxury or an act of political patronage as some Republicans claim.
