                     UNCERTAINTY HURTS JOB CREATION

  (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, Democrat policies in 
Washington are creating uncertainty across America. This uncertainty is 
chilling job creation, and small businesses have to wait and see when 
the next tax increase or government mandate is going to arrive. Whether 
it is more government intrusion into the financial sector, a national 
energy tax, devaluation of their dollar, a Big Government health care 
takeover, small businesses see a Democrat agenda that is out of touch 
with their needs.
  Further promoting this uncertainty is the Democrats' refusal to 
provide the transparency they promised. Long gone are the plans to 
draft a health care bill in public. Now those decisions are made behind 
closed doors. The Democrat leadership is even refusing to hold a vote 
on a proposal to have all legislation available online for 72 hours.
  We need to say ``yes'' on H.R. 3400, health insurance reform. 
Republicans have a bill for access and affordability, and I urge my 
Democrat colleagues to consider H.R. 3400.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
