            CUT, CAP, AND BALANCE IS THE BEST FOR THE NATION

  (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, led by the positive 
leadership of Speaker John Boehner, House Republicans passed the best 
bipartisan solution to the debt ceiling last week, the Cut, Cap, and 
Balance Act of 2011.
  Liberals in the Senate chose to hide and had a tabling vote to 
cowardly avoid a recorded vote on the issue. I urge liberals to join 
conservatives and vote for a solution which creates jobs and stop the 
President who is stuck on tax increases destroying jobs.
  The President does not have a plan. He even admits he's bluffing. 
Sadly, this was further revealed yesterday when the gross domestic 
product was reported to be stagnant.
  Additionally, the front page headline today of The Washington Post 
proclaims, ``Economic growth at near standstill.''
  The President should change course and work for bipartisan proposals 
to create jobs and preserve the Nation's credit rating.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
