                          WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

  (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, two nights ago, America 
learned that recovery.gov, the official administration Web site, was 
full of fake stimulus jobs in fake congressional districts. Last night, 
even ABC News broke that the Government Accountability Office says that 
one out of every 10 jobs created by the stimulus are also fake. When 
asked about the inconsistencies, the spokesman for recovery.gov 
replied, Who knows, man? Who really knows?
  One thing is certain--Americans need real jobs. I call on my 
colleagues to listen to Republican plans to promote real jobs. Where 
are the jobs?
  The Economic Recovery and Middle-Class Relief Act of 2009, which I 
support, unleashes the potential of American small businesses. It 
reduces the burden that government places on employers and employees.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
