                     PROPOSED TAX PLAN KILLING JOBS

  (Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GEORGE MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, 2 
years ago President Bush brought a $1 trillion tax cut to the American 
public in the name of creating jobs and stimulating the economy. Since 
the time that he has done that, the economy has lost 2.7 million jobs; 
2.7 million Americans out of work, the deficit has soared dramatically, 
and the economy is moving sideways, at best.
  Now what does the President suggest? Today he suggests we cut taxes 
again, another $1 trillion, and that $1 trillion is supposed to create 
jobs. Very shortly President Bush will reign over the loss of 3 million 
jobs since he has come to office.
  The President keeps putting forth this plan as a means of creating 
jobs. What it has done is it has killed 3 million jobs. The President's 
economic plan has yet to create its first job, its first job; but it 
has killed 3 million jobs in the American economy. The American public 
ought to understand, it is a $1 trillion giveaway to the richest people 
in the country and a job killer for working Americans.
