                   LIBERALS CREATE POSSIBLE SHUTDOWN

  (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, Democrats in Congress are 
still setting up roadblocks to prevent a budget for this fiscal year. 
Trying to conceal reckless spending, the liberal majority in the last 
Congress refused to pass a budget, threatening jobs.
  Rather than mortgaging the future like the previous Congress, House 
Republicans sent a commonsense budget to the Senate 47 days ago. This 
plan limits spending in order to promote job growth. Now we have 
liberals in the Senate refusing to pass the budget. This is failed 
leadership.
  Democrats in Washington are out of touch with everyday Americans and 
would rather play the blame game than offer real solutions. The liberal 
House majority last year failed to pass a budget. The new conservative 
House passed a budget, but the liberal Senate majority has failed to 
pass a budget.
  Liberals are clearly risking government shutdown.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
