                          A DIFFERENT STIMULUS

  (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, I rise today in support of 
legislation with a proven record of stimulating the economy and 
creating jobs.
  Members of the Republican Study Committee have introduced the 
Economic Recovery and Middle-Class Tax

[[Page 832]]

Relief Act, legislation that is fiscally responsible and one that will 
stimulate job growth in the private sector rather than the Federal 
Government. This package includes tax relief for American families, 
businesses, and entrepreneurs. It allows businesses to expense the 
purchase of assets which will encourage growth and job creation.
  This job does not threaten American families with hyper-inflation or 
saddle future generations with evermore debt with hundreds of billions 
of dollars in spending.
  I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to consider 
these proposals. These are proposals that will address the economic 
downturn and will not demand government spending. We should remember 
that Jerry Bellune of the Lexington County Chronicle is correct: This 
is the people's money, not the government's.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th.
