             HOUSE REPUBLICANS LEAD THE WAY TO JOB CREATION

  (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, sadly more than 14 million 
Americans are still without a job. The unemployment rate has been above 
8 percent for the last 2\1/2\ years. As the Vice President recently 
acknowledged, this administration is responsible for the current 
economic conditions of our country.
  House Republicans have sought to introduce legislation that will 
create jobs and put American families back to work by empowering small 
business owners, simplifying the tax code, encouraging entrepreneurship 
and growth, and maximizing domestic energy production.
  House Republicans have focused on job creation. By passing over 15 
job bills since January, House Republicans have provided realistic 
solutions to America's economic woes.
  Now is the time for liberals in the Senate and this administration to 
change course from the failed policies of borrow, tax, and spend.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
