Democrats Should Stop The Spin On The Economy

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

(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, Democrats should stop trying to spend the results of their economic borrowing program. Despite what the
Obama administration has said, the 2,600,000 Americans who have lost jobs since January is a clear sign that their Recovery Act has not done its job. Instead of more rhetoric, Democrats should work with Republicans to put in place commonsense proposals that will rein in the wasteful spending and focus on job creation.

Our economy will grow strong again thanks to individuals and small businesses that create the majority of jobs in this country. It will not be due to the billions in Big Government borrowing perpetrated by this administration. We should focus our time on helping small businesses grow and provide relief to those who are suffering during these tough economic times.

Republicans have offered a plan to do just that, and we will do so without adding trillions in additional Big Government, liberal spending, and actions such as the new health care taxes that will destroy jobs.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
