                        JOB CREATORS IN AMERICA

  (Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNCAN of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, you know, last week the 
President said to American job creators that if you've got a business, 
you didn't build that; somebody else made that happen.
  Well, let me tell you, Mr. President, that prior to coming to 
Congress I ran my own business for 16 years. Where was the President or 
this phantom person that he claims that created my business? Where were 
they when I was driving 60,000 miles a year chasing business or putting 
in 16-hour days or signing the loan paperwork at the bank so that I 
could make payroll or keep the wheels turning on my vehicles? The only 
other person that was there when I started my business was my wife, 
Melody, who supported me in so many ways.
  This asinine comment by the President of the United States clearly 
shows that neither he nor anyone in the administration know anything 
about creating jobs or running a business here in America.
  May God bless the real job creators in America, and may God continue 
to bless this great Nation.


                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their 
remarks to the Chair.
