LIBERALS CREATE POSSIBLE SHUTDOWN
(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, Democrats in Congress are
still setting up roadblocks to prevent a budget for this fiscal year.
Trying to conceal reckless spending, the liberal majority in the last
Congress refused to pass a budget, threatening jobs.
Rather than mortgaging the future like the previous Congress, House
Republicans sent a commonsense budget to the Senate 47 days ago. This
plan limits spending in order to promote job growth. Now we have
liberals in the Senate refusing to pass the budget. This is failed
leadership.
Democrats in Washington are out of touch with everyday Americans and
would rather play the blame game than offer real solutions. The liberal
House majority last year failed to pass a budget. The new conservative
House passed a budget, but the liberal Senate majority has failed to
pass a budget.
Liberals are clearly risking government shutdown.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
