                 POLITICAL SCHIZOPHRENIA IN WASHINGTON

  (Mr. CARTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, we have a problem here in Washington since 
the Democrats took control: It's called insanity, specifically, 
political schizophrenia.
  Yesterday, the Senate voted to spend another $15 billion in taxpayer 
money to create a hoped-for 250,000 jobs. Yesterday, President Obama 
introduced a health care proposal that is estimated to cost 600,000 
jobs by his own supporters and up to 5.2 million jobs by business 
groups. So in 1 day Democrats pushed two proposals--one to create jobs 
and one to cut jobs--that combined will result in a net job loss of 
between 350,000 and 4.8 million jobs. The madness has to stop before 
maybe the President starts claiming he's George Washington.
