                           STATE JOBS NUMBERS

  (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, the new State job numbers 
confirm that 47 States are suffering since the so-called stimulus bill 
passed while D.C. bureaucrats are benefiting from increasing jobs. The 
Politico reported on such a discrepancy in an article titled, ``Reality 
gap: U.S. struggles, D.C. booms.''
  The article says, ``America is struggling with a sputtering economy 
and high unemployment, but times are booming for Washington's governing 
class.
  ``The massive expansion of government under President Barack Obama 
has basically guaranteed a robust job market for policy professionals, 
regulators and contractors for years to come. The housing market, 
boosted by the large number of high-income earners in the area, many 
working in politics and government, is easily outpacing the markets in 
most of the country.''
  The American people want Congress to focus on small business job 
growth instead of spending more of the people's money to create more 
government jobs. Americans understand TEA, Taxed Enough Already.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
