                              THE ECONOMY

  (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, if this economy is so great, why are 
American workers losing their jobs? If this economy is so great, why 
are American workers going bankrupt in record numbers? If that is not 
enough to massage your Dow Jones, check this out: If this economy is so 
great, why do many families need three jobs just to pay their bills?
  Let us tell it like it is: When you hold this economy to your nosey, 
this economy does not smell so rosy. If there is any consolation to the 
American workers, I never heard of anyone in America committing suicide 
by jumping out of a basement window.
  I yield back all the propaganda on this great economy.
