Memo to Congress: What would be the best Christmas/ Hannukah present for the American people? Oh, 15 million or so new jobs.

U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said he expects the U.S. House of Representatives to vote on legislation that would create more jobs by the year-end holiday recess.

“Clearly 10.2 percent unemployment is unacceptable and is causing great pain to literally millions of people around the country.” U.S. Rep. Hoyer said, CNN reported.
