                 SOUTH CAROLINA LEADERSHIP CREATES 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, families in South Carolina 
have been negatively affected by the failed policies of Biden, with the 
highest inflation in 40 years destroying jobs.
  Gratefully, in South Carolina, with the leadership of Republican 
Governor Henry McMaster, all statewide officials, and supermajorities 
in the General Assembly, budget surpluses have been achieved with 
responsible spending creating jobs.
  The South Carolina Department of Commerce, led by Secretary Harry 
Lightsey, announced $9.2 billion in investments with 14,000 new jobs.
  This is in the tradition of Governor Jim Edwards, recruiting the 
largest Michelin facilities in the world, and Governor Carroll Campbell 
groundbreaking the largest BMW assembly plant in the world. Governor 
Nikki Haley saved Boeing jobs, and Senator Tim Scott, with President 
Donald Trump, developed opportunity zones.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who successfully protected 
America for 20 years as the global war on terrorism moves from the 
Afghanistan safe haven to America. Biden shamefully opens borders for 
dictators, failing to enforce laws. We don't need new laws as more 9/11 
attacks across America are imminent, as warned by the FBI.
