HELPING THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST
(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, according to a Hoover
Institute study, 2.6 million Americans are at risk of receiving smaller
paychecks because of reduced hours as a result of ObamaCare's harsh
regulations on small businesses.
It is obvious that the President's broken health care promises have
made lives more difficult. What do we tell single mothers who have been
forced to pick up an additional job because their hours have been
reduced? And what about the college students who are paying their way
through school but are struggling to achieve an education because their
paychecks will not cover expenses?
At a time with record unemployment and a record number of people not
seeking work, the government should not make it more difficult for
employers to hire workers. Later today, the House will vote on a bill,
which I have gratefully cosponsored, that provides relief for millions
of Americans who have received smaller paychecks because of the
President's health care takeover which destroys jobs.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
Welcome, Mead Hall Episcopal School of Aiken, South Carolina.
