THERE ARE BETTER SOLUTIONS -- (House of Representatives - February 11, 2009)

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, our friends on the other side of the aisle continue to frame the stimulus debate as between doing what they want or doing nothing at all. This is simply not the case, as even the Washington Post reported today.

Since the very beginning of this economic crisis and from day one of this Congress, House Republicans have worked to develop proposals that promote job creation. Our solutions provide immediate relief to American families, small businesses, real estate recovery, and homeowners. Our solutions aim at creating jobs. We can create twice the jobs at half the spending. We can bring our set of proposals to the table in a spirit of bipartisanship. We have done so in recognition of the fact that millions of Americans are in financial distress. We must not keep quiet when we know there are solutions that can create jobs without burdening our children with even greater debt and threatening destructive inflation.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th.

END
