                     CREATE WEALTH AND CREATE JOBS

  (Mr. INGLIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. INGLIS. Mr. Speaker, I'm not here to ask the President to make 
good on his promise about those jobs, because I don't believe that 
government creates jobs. Government doesn't create wealth. All it does 
is move wealth around. We need jobs.
  But I am here to ask the President to make good on the idea of 
producing the right policies that would create jobs by creating wealth 
in the private sector. And I would suggest to my colleagues that the 
way to do that is to have a low-tax situation, a lighter touch on 
regulation and less litigation. It's really those three things. If you 
have low taxes, light-touch regulation, and less litigation, we will 
expand the American economy, we will create wealth, and we will create 
jobs.
  That is something that we can be doing here in this Congress. It is 
something that we can cooperate on getting done, and we can serve the 
American people. We can deliver American solutions.
