Mr. Speaker, it's particularly fitting that I would be with you today in that my late father-in-law, State Representative Julian Dusenbury, who was a hero of the Battle of Okinawa, was shot by a sniper, but he continued his service from a wheelchair in the Statehouse of South Carolina. So I have always appreciated your courage, and I want to join with Congressman Kennedy to recognize your courage and your courage to serve. Thank you, and God bless you. The Friday front page headlines of The Island Packet of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, highlight the legitimate concerns of the American people. ``Are we in for a tax hike?'' and is the U.S. facing a threat of a flat economy? Since the stimulus bill became law, 2.4 million Americans have lost their jobs. The promise of unemployment not to exceed 8 percent was broken, as unemployment soared to 8 percent. The failed borrow, spend, and tax policies of this administration cry out for ``Where are the jobs?'' We need both parties to work together to promote small business job creation. President Kennedy cut taxes and jobs grew. President Reagan cut taxes and more jobs were created. Republicans have offered positive alternatives using the proven policies from both parties which actually promote jobs. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the Global War on Terrorism. ____________________
