         ADMINISTRATION'S ECONOMIC POLICIES NOT WORKING IN OHIO

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, President Bush was in Cincinnati this 
week to sell his program of tax cuts and trickle-down economics, tax 
cuts for the most privileged Americans, hoping that it would trickle 
down and create jobs and more trade agreements that unfortunately have 
shipped jobs overseas. The problem with his economic program in Ohio 
and elsewhere obviously is it is not working. We have lost almost 150 
jobs every single day during the Bush administration. In Ohio alone one 
out of six manufacturing jobs in our State has disappeared. Yet the 
President's solution is always the same.
  Instead, this Congress should extend unemployment benefits to the 
50,000 Ohioans and 1 million Americans who have seen their benefits run 
out. This Congress also should pass the bipartisan Crane-Rangel bill 
which will give incentives to manufacturers that manufacture in the 
United States, not outsource and ship jobs overseas.
