Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, seven proposals have been brought to this floor for a vote directly from participants in the interactive forum YouCut. These proposals are commonsense cost savers of the people's money. House Republicans have listened to the will of the people and have voted to save billions by reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, by selling excess Federal lands, and by preventing taxpayer subsidized union activities. Yesterday, the House had another opportunity to save money by getting rid of promotional stimulus signs.

A year and a half after the spending stimulus passed, unemployment has risen to 10 percent, as the so-called stimulus has failed to create jobs. But liberals cleverly came up with propaganda to push Americans on this failed policy at a cost of up to $10,000 a sign. Stimulus signs are nationwide. If we eliminated this waste, $20 million could be saved. When it comes to wasteful Washington spending, all signs point to the stimulus.

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