Mr. Speaker, during a radio interview last week, Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged the current administration has responsibility for the economy. The Vice President stated, ``Right now, we are the ones in charge. I don't blame them for being mad. We're in charge, so they're angry.'' I agree with the Vice President. While the national unemployment rate continues to remain above 9 percent, this administration continues the failed policies of borrow and spend. It is a failed course. Last week, I met with constituents across the Second Congressional District of South Carolina during the annual District Bus Tour, and without complaining, they urged: reduce spending, cut taxes, create jobs. House Republicans have introduced numerous jobs bills designed to encourage hiring and long-term economic growth. Now is the time for liberals and the President to change course. They own it. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
