                 STOP THE INSANITY AND FIX THE ECONOMY

  (Mr. McCOTTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I come from Michigan where we have a 15.2 
percent unemployment rate. And the thing that we hear in Michigan is 
where are the jobs?
  We come to Washington and we now hear that we are going to have a 
radical socialization of America's health care system, that we are 
going to rush to misjudgment, that we will not allow the American 
people's voices to be heard over the August break so that their Members 
can come here and accomplish health care reform, not merely in a rush, 
but most importantly, correctly.
  When I go home this August, I would like to be able to converse with 
my constituents about the best way to do this in our hard-pressed 
State. And I know for a fact that they will want health care done 
right, and they will tell this body to stop the insanity and fix the 
economy and do the job we sent you to do.
