   REPUBLICAN BUDGET PROMOTES AMERICAN FAMILIES AND SMALL BUSINESSES

  (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, Republicans are offering a 
budget that will move our country in a new direction of fiscal 
responsibility. It provides commonsense support for small businesses, 
which create the majority of jobs in America. It provides relief for 
American families. It keeps our promise to future generations by 
addressing entitlement spending so we do not go bankrupt in the future.
  The Democrat budget, on the other hand, is a Washington-as-usual 
borrow and spending spree. It is no change. It raises taxes on American 
families and small businesses $1.4 trillion. It produces record 
spending levels and, not surprising, record borrowing.
  Republicans are offering a smarter way forward, one where we limit 
spending, help small businesses create jobs, and control the debt that 
threatens the solvency of the dollar and Social Security.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
