                   CBO REPORTS MORE STIMULUS STUMBLES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the nonpartisan 
Congressional Budget Office announced that the cost of the President's 
spending plan has jumped another $75 billion. Stephen Dinan at the 
Washington Times reported that ``the country faces giant budget 
deficits for the foreseeable future and has the biggest debt problem it 
has seen since just after World War II.''
  On the heels of these reports, the President will deliver the State 
of the Union address and will present his agenda tonight. I hope the 
President will be substantive about tackling out-of-control Washington 
spending to promote bipartisan cooperation. I believe we need to freeze 
spending based on 2008 levels. The Washington liberal majority needs to 
explain the 85 percent spending spike in just 2 years. American 
families who are trying to stay financially afloat do not have time for 
any more stimulus stumbles. We need jobs, not more spending.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Congratulations, Coach Darrin Horn and the USC Gamecocks, for their 
68-62 victory over number one ranked Kentucky.
