Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, our colleagues across the aisle are stuck on failure, the bailouts, one after the other. Last week, the bill that was passed here, the $30 billion, is another bailout of banks. It is a failure. Everything that our friends across the aisle-- mostly recommended by the President, have failed. Our unemployment rate, which was never supposed to go above 8 percent, based on the stimulus, is at almost 10 percent. Your ways of doing this are to keep the American people under the control of the government. Tax credits make them beholden. That is not the way to do it. No tax increases is the way to do it.
