JOB CREATION
(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. Madam Speaker, 219 liberals on the
other side of the aisle may have passed a government health care
takeover, but the American people still have a voice to tell their
lawmakers to repeal these job-killing mandates and finally focus on job
creation proposals.
Congress spent the better part of an entire year obsessed with
cutting deals for a health care takeover full of tax increases and
mandates while unemployment increased by over 3 million people. Let me
repeat. For months, 219 lawmakers ignored the clear message that the
American people sent about this job-killing takeover--that they didn't
want it--and after arm twisting, proceeded to ram it through anyway.
When is Congress going to get it right? The American people want us
to be debating job creation policies. They want to know when private
sector jobs will be created, instead of 16,500 more IRS government jobs
that this health care takeover will create. It's high time we give the
people some answers for jobs.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
