HOUSE REPUBLICANS PROMOTE 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, according to an editorial
in this week's Wall Street Journal:
President Obama's climate speech on Tuesday was grandiose
even for him, but its surreal nature was its particular
hallmark. Mr. Obama's ``climate action plan'' adds up to one
of the most extensive reorganizations of the U.S. economy
imposed through administrative fiat and raw executive power.
But over his 6,500-word address, he articulated no such goal
for the unemployment rate or GDP.
An energy policy, including higher taxes, more out-of-control
spending, and increased government control of our daily lives will not
promote jobs. It is a war on jobs. American families need job creation,
a clean environment, economic certainty, and hope for future
generations.
Today, House Republicans will vote on an all-of-the-above energy bill
that will create jobs, increase access to our own energy resources, and
stimulate our weak economy. It is time for the Senate and the President
to support our efforts for American families to reach their full
potential.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
