IT'S TIME TO GET THIS ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN
(Mr. STUTZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. STUTZMAN. Madam Speaker, this week, President Obama outlined his
vision for America: job-killing tax hikes, a job-killing national
energy tax, job-killing wage controls, and job-killing stimulus
spending.
Equally telling were the items that the President did not mention. He
offered no plan to pay off our $16 trillion of debt, no plan to replace
the sequester cuts to national defense that he proposed, no plan to
save our broken social safety nets, and no plan to restore the
confidence of Americans in the real economy.
President Obama believes that every problem can be solved with big
government and another tax hike. President Clinton once declared that
the era of big government is over. Not this President. President Obama
believes more government is the solution to all of our problems.
It's time to get this economy moving again, and my colleagues in the
House are ready to work toward real solutions that encourage job
growth, empower individuals, and break Washington's spending habits.
