                            CLASS ACT REPEAL

  (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. Madam Speaker, last Wednesday, the 
House passed the Fiscal Responsibility and Retirement Security Act of 
2011, a bill which repeals a new program in the government health care 
takeover bill. During the health care debate, the President and 
congressional liberals said that this program would save taxpayers $80 
billion. However, now internal evidence reveals that the administration 
was aware that the program was a ``recipe for disaster.''
  The 2,700-page ObamaCare bill was rammed through Congress, just like 
Cash for Clunkers. The President and his liberal colleagues included 
unworkable programs into an unpopular bill to gain enough votes for 
passage. The CLASS program is yet another example of how this 
administration supports programs that are political gimmicks, 
identified by Bill Walker as being a free ticket but no show.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
