                          A DIFFERENT STIMULUS

  (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, I rise today in support of 
legislation with a proven record of stimulating the economy and 
creating jobs.
  Members of the Republican Study Committee have introduced the 
Economic Recovery and Middle-Class Tax Relief Act, legislation that is 
fiscally responsible and one that will stimulate job growth in the 
private sector rather than the Federal Government. This package 
includes tax relief for American families, businesses, and 
entrepreneurs. It allows businesses to expense the purchase of assets 
which will encourage growth and job creation.
  This job does not threaten American families with hyper-inflation or 
saddle future generations with evermore debt with hundreds of billions 
of dollars in spending.
  I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to consider 
these proposals. These are proposals that will address the economic 
downturn and will not demand government spending. We should remember 
that Jerry Bellune of the Lexington County Chronicle is correct: This 
is the people's money, not the government's.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th.
