                              WE NEED JOBS

  (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, Speaker Pelosi told the 
American people that the misnamed stimulus bill would immediately 
create jobs and keep unemployment under 8 percent. However, 
unemployment has now topped 10 percent, with 2.8 million jobs lost 
since the misidentified stimulus was signed into law.
  Despite these staggering numbers, Speaker Pelosi continues to push a 
job-killing health care takeover. Clearly, Congress has a case of 
misplaced priorities.
  Patricia Owen lives on Hilton Head Island and owns FACES DaySpa. She 
is just one of the many small business owners who would be negatively 
impacted if this takeover is passed. With 23 employees at FACES DaySpa, 
the Owen family appreciates its dedicated staff. The Owen's service-
based company will face more punitive taxes in Pelosi's health care 
takeover.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Thank you, veterans, 
for victory in the Cold War 20 years ago Monday with the fall of the 
Berlin Wall.
