            THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SEND A MESSAGE

  (Mr. SCARBOROUGH asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Speaker, I looked at the cover of the U.S. News 
and World Report which talks about the death of the Democratic Party. I 
think all you have to do is listen to the last speakers that have been 
up here to understand why.
  A few speakers ago, we had somebody come to the floor and said he was 
disgusted with the tax cuts, that we should take pride in the fact the 
deficit has gone down over the past year or two. What he does not tell 
you is he is proud of what has happened in the past year or two because 
he voted for the largest tax increase in the history of the world. He 
voted for taxes on seniors who they claim to protect. He voted for tax 
increases on working men and women they claim to protect. He voted for 
taxes on middle-class people who they claim to protect. He voted for 
taxes on small businesses that create jobs.
  Now it just absolutely amaze me that the Democratic Party despises 
the jobmaker but loves the jobs. I mean, let us get real here. Read the 
cover of U.S. News and World Report and figure something out.
  The American people are trying to send a message, and that is, ``Get 
government off our backs and lower out taxes.''
