                         GOVERNMENT FAIRY TALE

  (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. Madam Speaker, Ronald Reagan once said 
the most terrifying words in the English language are, ``I'm from the 
government and I'm here to help.'' This is exactly what Washington 
liberals are trying to tell the American people.
  The scheme that the government can give everyone free health care is 
a fairy tale which defies history and reality. The reality is there are 
real and affordable ways to improve the health care financing system, 
and Republicans presented 70 such proposals. Proposals like H.R. 3400 
will make health care accessible and affordable, covering preexisting 
conditions, promoting employer-sponsored insurance, and offers 
insurance across State lines.
  The Pelosi bill will kill 1.6 million jobs according to the National 
Federation of Independent Business.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Citizens can make a difference, like Chuck Strauch of Hilton Head 
Island, with Ann Bull, Brenda Maxwell, and Lynn Dempsey of Lexington, 
South Carolina.
