HOUSE REPUBLICANS LEAD THE WAY TO JOB CREATION
(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, sadly more than 14 million
Americans are still without a job. The unemployment rate has been above
8 percent for the last 2\1/2\ years. As the Vice President recently
acknowledged, this administration is responsible for the current
economic conditions of our country.
House Republicans have sought to introduce legislation that will
create jobs and put American families back to work by empowering small
business owners, simplifying the tax code, encouraging entrepreneurship
and growth, and maximizing domestic energy production.
House Republicans have focused on job creation. By passing over 15
job bills since January, House Republicans have provided realistic
solutions to America's economic woes.
Now is the time for liberals in the Senate and this administration to
change course from the failed policies of borrow, tax, and spend.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
