  DO WHAT IS RIGHT THIS WEEK
  (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, this is an important week 
for American families. The continuing resolution expires Friday. 
Liberals are clearly responsible for a possible government shutdown.
  The American people know spending is out of control with a record 
deficit in February of $223 billion. Borrowing from creditors overseas 
is $5 billion a day, putting American jobs at risk. Senior citizens are 
threatened with their savings and Social Security becoming worthless. 
Young people are being burdened with crushing debt which will lead to 
oppressive taxation.
  How did this week arise?
  The budget for this year was not adopted by the liberal House last 
year. The continuing resolution for this year was passed by the new 
conservative House but has not been adopted by the current liberal 
Senate.
  Speaker John Boehner has fought for the Pledge to America which the 
voters supported last November with a record of over 63 liberals being 
defeated. Senate liberals have been revealed scheming inflammatory 
name-calling of Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy, instead of good faith 
negotiations.
  I hope this week the Senate liberals put politics aside and do what 
is right for commonsense government. We cannot mortgage the future to 
happiness.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
