                      UNLEASH THE AMERICAN ECONOMY

  (Mr. NUNNELEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. NUNNELEE. Madam Speaker, our Nation is faced with 10 percent 
unemployment and rising, out-of-control deficits. And the Obama 
administration solution: spend more, tax more, and regulate more. This 
has created an environment that has destroyed confidence and increased 
unemployment.
  Instead, Washington must create an environment favorable to job 
creation. We must rein in out-of-control spending. This fall, we will 
vote on a balanced budget amendment that will require Washington to do 
what families and small businesses already do: live within their means. 
We must remain focused on relieving the regulations that are choking 
job creation. And lastly, we must concentrate on tax reform, not tax 
increases, because increased taxes are the enemy of job creation.
  The American people don't want more solutions from the Federal 
Government; they want the Federal Government to get out of the way. And 
if we do those things, we will unleash the American economy and give 
businesses the confidence they need to grow and to create jobs.
