           PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RHETORIC CONTRADICTS HIS ACTIONS

  (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, President Obama last week 
told a town hall audience that ``we are mortgaging our children's 
future with more and more debt.'' He talked about how borrowing would 
lead to higher interest rates. I appreciate the President acknowledging 
these dangers. Unfortunately, it is his budget and his allies in 
Congress that will produce more debt in the next decade than all 
previous administrations combined. They are his policies that are 
borrowing too much, spending too much and taxing too much.
  On the other hand, Republicans continue to offer a better way 
forward. Our policies would help small businesses and entrepreneurs 
have the capital and freedom to innovate and create jobs.
  At some point, the President's actions need to match his words. 
American families cannot afford for President Obama to try to have it 
both ways.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
