DEMOCRATS CONTINUE TO TAX AND SPEND
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, Democrats are as
predictable as the sun: it continues to rise in the east, and they
continue to tax and spend.
The Democratic budget released last week proposes the largest tax
increase in American history: $392.5 billion. Not only does it allow
for the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, but it does nothing
to control unsustainable entitlement spending.
Republicans believe fiscal restraint and pro-growth economic policies
will lead to budget surpluses and new jobs. Democrats believe out-of-
control government spending should be subsidized with the hard-earned
money of American taxpayers.
Unfortunately, the Democratic budget continues to squeeze taxpayers'
pocketbooks without tightening the belt of Big Government. Such
reckless policies will chill our growing economy by reducing job
creation.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September 11.
