             DEMOCRATS SHOULD STOP THE SPIN ON THE ECONOMY

  (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, Democrats should stop 
trying to spend the results of their economic borrowing program. 
Despite what the Obama administration has said, the 2,600,000 Americans 
who have lost jobs since January is a clear sign that their Recovery 
Act has not done its job. Instead of more rhetoric, Democrats should 
work with Republicans to put in place commonsense proposals that will 
rein in the wasteful spending and focus on job creation.
  Our economy will grow strong again thanks to individuals and small 
businesses that create the majority of jobs in this country. It will 
not be due to the billions in Big Government borrowing perpetrated by 
this administration. We should focus our time on helping small 
businesses grow and provide relief to those who are suffering during 
these tough economic times.
  Republicans have offered a plan to do just that, and we will do so 
without adding trillions in additional Big Government, liberal 
spending, and actions such as the new health care taxes that will 
destroy jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
