                          WHERE ARE THE 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, it's particularly fitting 
that I would be with you today in that my late father-in-law, State 
Representative Julian Dusenbury, who was a hero of the Battle of 
Okinawa, was shot by a sniper, but he continued his service from a 
wheelchair in the Statehouse of South Carolina. So I have always 
appreciated your courage, and I want to join with Congressman Kennedy 
to recognize your courage and your courage to serve. Thank you, and God 
bless you.
  The Friday front page headlines of The Island Packet of Hilton Head 
Island, South Carolina, highlight the legitimate concerns of the 
American people. ``Are we in for a tax hike?'' and is the U.S. facing a 
threat of a flat economy? Since the stimulus bill became law, 2.4 
million Americans have lost their jobs. The promise of unemployment not 
to exceed 8 percent was broken, as unemployment soared to 8 percent.
  The failed borrow, spend, and tax policies of this administration cry 
out for ``Where are the jobs?'' We need both parties to work together 
to promote small business job creation.
  President Kennedy cut taxes and jobs grew. President Reagan cut taxes 
and more jobs were created. Republicans have offered positive 
alternatives using the proven policies from both parties which actually 
promote jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
