On the recordFebruary 23, 2010
Mr. Speaker, last week marked the first year of the trillion dollar spending bill claimed to produce jobs, but The Island Packet at Hilton Head Island reports the fact that more than 4 million jobs have been lost. With 7.5 million jobs lost since Speaker Pelosi took over, I toured the district I represent on a ``Joe Means Jobs'' tour, where I found people want change from Big Government failed policies. They supported the concepts of the proven tax cuts of John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan as presented today in H.R. 470 to create jobs. Sadly, the administration obsessively pushes a health care takeover, which the National Federation of Independent Business confirms will kill 1.6 million jobs. Both parties should be working together to promote small business, the backbone of America, to create jobs. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Welcome Marc Conner Westbrook, the newborn son of Thad and Christy Westbrook, born February 19 at Lexington Medical Center of West Columbia, South Carolina. My sympathy to the family of Wayne Dell of Ridgeland, the father of Chief of Staff Eric Dell of the Second District. ____________________
