                            ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. A recent Gallup poll showed 79 percent of 
Americans now view the Federal debt as a serious threat to the future 
well-being of this Nation. It's no wonder because the administration 
just announced that the Nation's debt will

reach 93 percent of GDP this year, a new high. Economic experts predict 
that unprecedented debt level could squash at least 1 million more 
jobs. The news came the same day the Labor Department reported that 
nearly all of the new jobs were temporary hires at the Census and some 
of them rehires at that.
  Make no mistake, the out-of-control government spending, coupled with 
the heavy debt, prevent us from creating the quality jobs and the 
bright future America Americans want, need, and deserve.
  It's time to get our fiscal house in order, once and for all. The 
stimulus, the bailouts, government-run health care: Enough is enough.
