                     WHO WOULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED?

  (Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, who would have ever imagined in the 
greatest country in history we would see the things we have over the 
last year from the Democrat Congress and the Obama administration?
  Who'd have ever thought we'd see a $1.4 trillion deficit? Who would 
have ever thought we'd see a $12 trillion national debt?
  Who would have ever imagined we'd have $670 billion and counting in 
new taxes imposed this year on American taxpayers, including taxes on 
the middle class?
  And, now, who would have ever imagined coming soon to you and your 
family, a value added tax?

  How bad does it have to get before we stop the madness, before we 
stop the excessive spending, the excessive borrowing and the excessive 
taxation?
  Mr. Speaker, today, on tax day, the American people get it. 
Hopefully, soon the Democratic Congress will.
