HARVEST HOPE ADDRESSES PRESIDENT'S JOB POLICIES
(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, last month's jobs report
revealed the worst numbers of the year. Millions of Americans are
continuing to drop out of the workforce, destroying opportunity. A
clear symbol of the President's failure is that 14 million more people
are forced to depend on food stamps than when the President took
office.
The State's recent article explains families are hurting as a result
of the President's failed job policies.
Harvest Hope Food Bank is serving an unexpected increase of needy
families. CEO Denise Holland says: ``Every morning when we open up, the
lines are waiting for us all the way to the road. The people who are
suffering from hunger have not seen an improvement in their financial
condition yet.''
House Republicans have passed over 40 job-creation solutions which
are blocked in the Senate. The President should change course so we
can, together, work for job opportunities.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President's actions
should be based on remembering September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
My sympathy to Mayor Rita Crapps and the families of Batesburg-
Leesville.
