             RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR JOB CREATION POLICIES

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, sales are suffering, the economy remains 
stagnant, and millions of hardworking Americans are looking for work. 
Arkansans believe that the recent Obama-Pelosi health care bill, cap-
and-trade, and other job-killing tax increases will hurt, not help, our 
struggling economy.
  We should take action to help businesses get on their feet by 
focusing on job creation as opposed to some of the misplaced 
priorities. New taxes and health care mandates are harming smaller 
firms and businesses. The so-called stimulus bill is not creating long-
term jobs but is increasing the budget deficit and sending the bill, 
plus interest, to tomorrow's taxpayers.
  Congress must stop growing the tax burden and creating job-killing 
policies. Tax relief and incentives for small businesses would help all 
Americans, especially the middle class, and get our economy back on 
track. The key to this will be fiscal discipline. Now is the time to 
put a cap on Washington spending and to focus on the economic issues 
that matter instead of further inflating the national debt.
