                         CUT, CAP, AND BALANCE

  (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, today we will have the 
opportunity to vote for a solution on the impending debt ceiling issue 
in Washington. The Cut, Cap, and Balance Act of 2011 will cut $111 
billion of spending next year; it will cap the total Federal spending 
for the next 10 years; and, finally, it will require the passage of a 
balanced budget amendment before raising the national debt limit.
  This year the Federal Government will spend twice the amount it spent 
just 10 years ago. The government has a spending problem. It is not a

revenue, and it must be addressed to protect senior citizens.
  Where are the liberals' plans? It's been over 800 days since the 
liberals passed a budget in the Senate.
  The President's failed plan does not cut spending. Instead, it just 
raises taxes in a recession, killing jobs.
  I hope both parties can come together to enact the Cut, Cap, and 
Balance Act, which I am grateful to have cosponsored to benefit the 
young people of our country.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
