                 PRESIDENT'S INAUGURATION ONE YEAR AGO

  (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, 1 year ago today, the 
President was sworn into office, giving Democrats full control of 
Congress and the White House. After promising the American people a 
misnamed stimulus plan to keep unemployment under 8 percent, we see 10 
percent unemployment continuing to cripple families.
  Three hundred and sixty-five days later, the American people still 
haven't seen this Congress focus on job creation policies to promote 
small businesses. Instead, the American people have been saddled with 
more borrowing, more taxes, more spending, and increased deficits. As 
shown in Massachusetts, the American people support limited government, 
not failed big government.
  Seven million Americans have lost jobs since Democrats took Congress, 
and now Americans want real change. It's time the Democrats get this 
message and get their priorities straight: Drop this backroom 
government health care takeover and take up job creation policies.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
