CBO REVEALS PRESIDENT'S FAILED POLICIES
(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, throughout his campaign
for the White House, the President made an empty promise to cut our
deficit in half by the end of his first term. Earlier this week, the
Congressional Budget Office announced its projection that the
President's failed policies, sadly, have more than doubled the annual
debt. Our debt has increased by almost $5 trillion over the last 3
years. This statistic shows that throughout the Presidency of the
current President, the President has recklessly spent the tax dollars
of hardworking American families.
The Wall Street Journal stated: ``To sum it all up, the CBO's facts
plainly show that Mr. Obama has the worst fiscal record of any
President in modern times. No one else even comes close.'' At a time
when Americans are searching for jobs, the President must follow
through with this promise to the American people and work with both
Houses of Congress to stop Washington's out-of-control borrowing and
spending.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
