                      BIG GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WORK

  (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, last week marked the first 
year of the trillion dollar spending bill claimed to produce jobs, but 
The Island Packet at Hilton Head Island reports the fact that more than 
4 million jobs have been lost.
  With 7.5 million jobs lost since Speaker Pelosi took over, I toured 
the district I represent on a ``Joe Means Jobs'' tour, where I found 
people want change from Big Government failed policies. They supported 
the concepts of the proven tax cuts of John F. Kennedy and Ronald 
Reagan as presented today in H.R. 470 to create jobs.
  Sadly, the administration obsessively pushes a health care takeover, 
which the National Federation of Independent Business confirms will 
kill 1.6 million jobs.
  Both parties should be working together to promote small business, 
the backbone of America, to create jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Welcome Marc Conner Westbrook, the newborn son of Thad and Christy 
Westbrook, born February 19 at Lexington Medical Center of West 
Columbia, South Carolina.
  My sympathy to the family of Wayne Dell of Ridgeland, the father of 
Chief of Staff Eric Dell of the Second District.
