UNCERTAINTY 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, in Wednesday's Washington
Examiner, columnist John Stossel quoted Economist John B. Taylor of the
Hoover Institution who stated:
[[Page H3710]]
Unpredictable economic policy--massive fiscal stimulus and
ballooning debt, the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing
with multiyear near-zero interest rates, and regulatory
uncertainty due to ObamaCare and the Dodd-Frank financial
reforms--is the main cause of persistent high unemployment
and our feeble recovery.
Over the last 3 years, our economy has not improved, our unemployment
rate has remained above 8 percent, our small business owners have been
forced to pay higher taxes, and the government spending continues to
spiral out of control. The President and his liberal allies in the
Senate continue to support legislation that creates more barriers
resulting in job loss. The President and the Senate should work with
House Republicans and pass over 30 House bills that are aimed to create
jobs through private sector growth.
In conclusion, God bless our troops; and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Earl Brown of Columbia.
