                      GROWING DEMOCRATS' PROGRAMS

  (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. Mr. Speaker, the dire warnings of 
economists and the vivid lessons of Greece and of other debt-burdened 
European countries which are collapsing under their cradle-to-grave 
welfare systems have done nothing to restrain the Democrats in 
Washington. They have failed to heed the warnings from abroad, and they 
continue to simply declare their out-of-control spending as emergency 
spending to try to cover up their fiscal irresponsibility.
  As a constitutional conservative with grave concerns about the 
Democrats' out-of-control spending, I support a different plan. I say 
balance the budget; cut the deficit; pay down the debt; fire the czars; 
and grow the economy.
  With President Obama in control, the term ``GDP'' has taken on a 
whole new meaning--growing Democrats' programs.
