                     OBAMAVILLE IN COLORADO SPRINGS

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, this picture shows what the failed 
policies of this Congress and administration are doing to America. This 
sign was put up near a homeless camp in my district. It's next to the 
highway, down by the river. It says: Welcome to Obamaville--Colorado's 
fastest growing community.
  It's obvious that the liberals' prescription for creating jobs only 
creates more government by taking hard-earned dollars from families and 
small businesses for taxes that could have gone into creating real 
jobs.
  When the President said he wanted more jobs through the so-called 
stimulus, it's mostly meant more bureaucrats, and that's not the jobs 
Americans want. When Americans lose their jobs in this recession and 
end up living in a tent, something is wrong.
  The policies of this administration and Congress, by raising taxes 
and putting more regulations in the way of business, will not create 
the jobs Americans need for the future, but their policies will create 
tent cities.
