                  THE PRESIDENT'S BUDGET DESTROYS JOBS

  (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. Madam Speaker, National Review Editor 
Rich Lowry stated that the President's budget ``is built on gimmicks 
and cheery assumptions that support a massive superstructure of new 
taxes and new debt. It is a blueprint for national decline.''
  The President's budget request called for the biggest tax increases 
and accumulates the largest debt in our Nation's history. Over the past 
3 years, this administration has spent more money than ever before and 
increased our national debt by almost $5 trillion. Our unemployment 
rate has consistently remained above 8 percent for 36 months. It is 
clear that borrowing and spending more money will not create jobs. It 
is past time for the President and the liberal-controlled Senate to 
come together and support House Republicans' efforts to put American 
families back to work. Dozens of job-promoting bills that have passed 
the House are sadly held up in the Senate graveyard.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
