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.
