              PRESIDENT'S BUDGET: HIGHER TAXES, MORE DEBT

  (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, for 3 years, Americans 
have watched the President as he has tried to borrow and spend his way 
out of an economic recession. His failed policies have failed this 
Nation with unemployment still over 8 percent.
  The Washington Examiner stated:

       What this country needs is an honest leader who will tell 
     the truth about our entitlement spending crisis and identify 
     real reforms. But Obama's latest budget does none of that. 
     Instead, he offers double doses of deficits, tax hikes, and 
     crony capitalism. America deserves better.

  Over the past year, House Republicans have passed dozens of pieces of 
legislation that decrease spending, provide tax cuts, and encourage job 
creation through private sector job growth. I urge the President and 
the liberal Senate to work with House Republicans to support 
legislation that promotes jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
