                             YEAR IN REVIEW

  (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, during last night's town 
hall by telephone with constituents, I conducted a poll and asked what 
should be done first to tackle our national debt. Fifty-one percent of 
participants want Congress to repeal ObamaCare. ObamaCare will add to 
our national debt as higher premiums and taxes are placing burdens on 
families and destroying jobs.
  Rachel from West Columbia says:

       ObamaCare is still very costly for me and my family. At 
     times we have difficulty purchasing food for our family 
     because of my insurance costs.

  Robert from Aiken spent time on the Web site and found he ``would be 
paying about two-thirds more for a much worse insurance plan.''
  2013 should be remembered as the year further revealing the failure 
and threat of Big Government, with the ObamaCare train wreck, 
continuing of the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting, NSA spying, and 
DOJ-FBI eavesdropping on media. Congress should act, passing limited 
government reforms that encourage job creation and expand freedom.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
