                   GETTING OFF THE ROAD TO SOCIALISM

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Madam Speaker, America is on a road that I 
believe is going to lead to financial destruction and doom. We are 
being driven down that road by the administration and the leadership of 
Congress. In fact, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are driving a 
steamroller of socialism that is being shoved down the throats of the 
American public and it is going to strangle the American economy. It is 
going to kill the American public economically.
  Republicans have offered alternatives to these huge spending bills 
that don't create jobs. They create a bigger socialistic central 
government. We have plans that will create jobs at half the cost and 
actually create twice the amount of jobs. We have plans to have a 
comprehensive energy policy. We have plans that will put America back 
on the right track to financial security and on a track of energy 
independence

and on a track of the free market system.
  We need to get off this road of socialism and get on a road of 
freedom. I call upon my colleagues in this House to help us to get off 
the road to socialism and on one towards freedom.
