                 AMERICA NEEDS A THIRD POLITICAL PARTY

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the United States trade deficit last 
quarter reached another record, $44 billion. In addition, America ran 
an investment deficit of $3 billion. Some progress.
  While everybody in Washington is talking about this big train wreck, 
the budget, let us tell it the way it is. The Titanic, that trade 
deficit, is what is killing American jobs. And the sad fact is, folks, 
from Japan to Mexico there is no difference between a Democrat and a 
Republican.
  Mr. Speaker, is it any wonder that a majority of the American people 
do not identify with either of the two major political parties? When it 
comes to trade, there is not a reasonable program in America on either 
side of the aisle. America needs an alternative, a third political 
party. Maybe that is only way we will address some of these issues.
