  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, seven proposals have been 
brought to this floor for a vote directly from participants in the 
interactive forum YouCut. These proposals are commonsense cost savers 
of the people's money. House Republicans have listened to the will of 
the people and have voted to save billions by reforming Fannie Mae and 
Freddie Mac, by selling excess Federal lands, and by preventing 
taxpayer subsidized union activities. Yesterday, the House had another 
opportunity to save money by getting rid of promotional stimulus signs.
  A year and a half after the spending stimulus passed, unemployment 
has risen to 10 percent, as the so-called stimulus has failed to create 
jobs. But liberals cleverly came up with propaganda to push Americans 
on this failed policy at a cost of up to $10,000 a sign. Stimulus signs 
are nationwide. If we eliminated this waste, $20 million could be 
saved. When it comes to wasteful Washington spending, all signs point 
to the stimulus.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
