                        AMERICANS WANT REAL JOBS

  (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, on Friday, the Bureau of 
Labor Statistics released the August jobs report. Unfortunately, the 
news was grim. Unemployment remained at 9.1 percent with zero jobs 
being created in August. This is another tragedy for millions of 
American families.
  Today, Congress returns from the district work period. After having 
spent the last weeks with constituents in the district I represent, 
their one clear concern is jobs. People are tired of the President's 
lofty words with actions that destroy jobs. Americans want a change in 
course from the failed stimulus plans of borrow and wastefully spend. 
Let us work together to adopt real reforms that have an immediate 
impact on job creation. It's time to implement meaningful spending 
cuts, passing legislation designed to encourage small businesses to 
hire employees and help with job creation in the American economy. 
House Republicans have passed dozens of job-promoting bills since 
January. Now it's time for the liberal Senate and President to really 
help families who want jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
