                  ROLL BACK THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT NOW

  (Mr. GRAVES of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GRAVES of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, this administration has borrowed 
more money than all other administrations in the Nation's history 
combined, and they've only been at this for just over a year. The 
change we were promised has not turned out to be what all had hoped 
for.
  The unemployment rate is nearly 2 percent higher than what the 
Democrats promised with their first stimulus package. America's debt is 
at $13 trillion now. Now we learn that the administration wants another 
$50 billion bailout. When will it end? Washington cannot create jobs no 
matter how much money is thrown out there. We know that jobs can only 
be created when you expand the private sector and not expand the 
government.
  So, as we look forward to getting Americans back to work, I stand 
here today to say it is time for Washington to get about the business 
of expanding the private sector and of promoting sustainable job 
creation, which will come from that, and not of expanding government.
  I know Georgians are tired of what is going on here in Washington, 
and I

know most Americans are, too. Let's end the bailouts, the buyouts, and 
the stimulus bills.
