Madam Speaker, it is clear the American people are tired of business as usual in Washington, particularly when it comes to out-of-control spending. The images of the riots in Greece caused in part by overspending that led to an economic collapse should concern every single American. Between the $1 trillion government health care takeover, the $789 billion so-called stimulus, and the bankrupt cash-for-clunkers programs, America could be headed down the same path. There is clearly no better time to get serious about the spending spree in Washington. I applaud Republican Whip Eric Cantor for launching YouCut, an easy, interactive way for all Americans to vote, both online and via cell phone on spending cuts they want Congress to enact. In the first week of this program, over 280,000 people cast their votes to cut the new Non-Reformed Welfare Program that cost $2.5 billion a year. Please visit JoeWilson.house.gov or RepublicanWhip.house.gov to see this week's new options and cast your votes. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
