                            ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. A recent Gallup poll showed 79 percent of 
Americans now view the Federal debt as a serious threat to the future 
well-being of this Nation. It's no wonder because the administration 
just announced that the Nation's debt will reach 93 percent of GDP this 
year, a new high. Economic experts predict that unprecedented debt 
level could squash at least 1 million more jobs. The news came the same 
day the Labor Department reported that nearly all of the new jobs were 
temporary hires at the Census and some of them rehires at that.
  Make no mistake, the out-of-control government spending, coupled with 
the heavy debt, prevent us from creating the quality jobs and the 
bright future America Americans want, need, and deserve.
  It's time to get our fiscal house in order, once and for all. The 
stimulus, the bailouts, government-run health care: Enough is enough.
