                          SPEND, SPEND, SPEND

  (Mr. DJOU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DJOU. Mr. Speaker, the American people expect Congress to act 
responsibly and be trustworthy, but how can this happen when this 
Congress has no plan? No plan for a budget, no plan to create jobs, no 
plan to turn around our economy other than to spend, spend, and spend 
some more of the people's money. We spent more than a trillion dollars 
to create jobs, but as of yet, our unemployment rate still languishes 
at 9.5 percent.
  Our Nation is plagued with debt, and not creating a budget further 
amplifies the problem.
  Mr. Speaker, we are spending too much money. Even worse, we are 
spending too much money on programs that do not work. And even worse 
than that, we have no plan to pay any of this money back. And this 
problem is further compounded by this House's refusal to pass a budget.
  It's time to cut spending and enact real, meaningful tax relief and 
put more money in the hands of the American people.
