                      AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW

  (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, yesterday Economics 
Professor Peter Morici of the University of Maryland in The Washington 
Times cited facts the American people need to know:
  ``President Obama would like us to believe things are getting better 
every day, but average median incomes are down about $1,650 on his 
watch. Elderly women are working in record numbers because pensions and 
retirement incomes are being decimated.'' ``Young folks, bogged down by 
student loans, can't buy homes and face rocketing apartment rents.''
  ``Should the economy tumble, Hillary Clinton will try to buy off 
voters with more Obama-vintage free stuff that makes creating jobs in 
the private sector so tough.''
  ``Expanding ObamaCare-mandated benefits will push up prices for 
drugs, medical services, and insurance premiums even more and cause 
employers to hire even fewer workers.''
  ``Instead of more jobs, America will have more debt and more 
employers fleeing.''
  ``America did not become a superpower by being timid, and it's time 
for a President who understands this.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism.
