                          THIS IS NOT PROGRESS

  (Mr. DOOLITTLE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOOLITTLE. Madam Speaker, as my Democrat colleagues talk about 
the progress they think they have made, I urge the American people to 
think about what progress really is.
  Passing the largest tax increase in history is not progress. Delaying 
quick action on congressional reform is not progress. Opposing every 
effort to cut spending first is not progress. Socializing our health 
care delivery system is definitely not progress. Creating more 
regulations; hiring more bureaucrats; passing more worthless laws; 
these things are not progress.
   Madam Speaker, when the American people said they wanted change, 
they did not mean they wanted more government. That is not progress.
  As my Democrat colleagues talk about progress, I hope the voters 
remember that the Democrat version of progress means more government, 
more taxes, and a lesser quality of life and a lower standard of living 
for every American.
