FACTS REVEAL PRESIDENT'S JOB FAILURE
(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, the President's State of
the Union speech was a disconnect with the American people who live and
feel the failures of his policies. That is why the voters clearly spoke
to stop tax increases destroying jobs in favor of the Republican
bipartisan legislation to create jobs.
Big Government fails. The real facts threatening the middle class
are: $869.3 billion total taxes in ObamaCare, according to the
Congressional Budget Office; 5.5 million Americans who have fallen into
poverty since Obama became President, U.S. Census Bureau; 401,000
construction jobs lost since Obama became President, Bureau of Labor
Statistics; $2,484 decline in the median household income since Obama
became President, U.S. Census Bureau.
Again, the President should stop, change course, and work with
Republicans for legislation that promotes small business jobs.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President, by his
actions, must never forget September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
Welcome, right to life marchers, to Washington today.
