Americans Deserve A Proper Debate

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 are beholden to the failed policies of big government. That is why they refuse to acknowledge the commonsense proposals House Republicans have provided to make this Nation stronger, energy more affordable and Americans healthier.

Rather than have the reasonable debate that the American people deserve, Democrats want to spend their time presenting false choices. But despite the tired rhetoric we hear from the other side of the aisle, House Republicans continue to offer commonsense solutions to improve the economy and create jobs through relief for families and small businesses.

We are fighting for patient-first health care solutions that will help Americans afford insurance, protect the doctor-patient relationship and keep Washington out of your private health care decision. We are standing up for the middle-class families who cannot afford a massive national energy tax.

The American people deserve a debate on the ideas, not more rhetoric and false choices from this administration and their allies.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
