                        OBAMACARE DESTROYS 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, today marks an extremely 
important day in our Nation's history. The Supreme Court is scheduled 
to begin hearing oral arguments on the constitutionality of the 
President's government health care takeover legislation that was forced 
upon the American people by the President and his liberal allies, in a 
liberal-controlled Congress, by deals and kickbacks.
  Several weeks ago, the Congressional Budget Office released a report 
that ObamaCare will destroy almost 1 million jobs from our current 
workforce. According to a recent Gallup poll, 85 percent of small 
business owners are not hiring due to the government regulations and 
rising health care costs imposed by the Big Government mandate 
restricting freedom. America's largest association of small businesses, 
the National Federation of Independent Business, estimates 1.6 million 
jobs will be eliminated.
  House Republicans have voted to repeal ObamaCare 26 times. With a 
record unemployment rate of over 8 percent for the last 3 years, it is 
necessary for the President and Congress to enact laws providing for 
job creation through private sector growth rather than supporting 
legislation that destroys jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
