                   THE CHANGE AMERICA DIDN'T VOTE FOR

  (Mr. SCHOCK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. SCHOCK. In the last campaign we heard a lot about if you don't 
make more than $250,000 a year, you won't pay any new taxes. So what 
does the new majority do? Their first act in Congress is to pass the 
$787 billion stimulus package meant to jolt the economy. Yet all it has 
done is jolt the national debt up to a new high of $11.5 trillion.
  Next, the new majority comes forward and says, We want to decrease 
carbon outputs. We want to pass a cap-and-tax proposal meant to limit 
carbon monoxide. Well, that bill, if passed, will limit jobs in America 
by over 2.7 million fewer jobs, and now we're hearing that they want to 
limit costs on health care. In actuality, this plan, their health care 
proposal, will limit access to care. Their bill will actually decrease 
the number of jobs and will actually add a tax on every small business 
owner in America in the form of an 8 percent increase in payroll taxes.
  More taxes, fewer jobs. I don't think that's the change America voted 
for.
