Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives last night to deliver the following remarks:

"Last week the Speaker introduced her so-called health care reform bill that will cost over $1.2 trillion and will be paid for by massive new taxes on small businesses and cuts to Medicare.

With unemployment at 10% and small businesses throughout the country struggling to survive, it is irresponsible to pass legislation that will place a higher tax burden on small businesses.
And President Obama has pledged to let the Bush tax cuts expire. So small businesses can expect two tax hits in two years.

A radio journalist from back home asked me this morning if measures are being taken in Congress to alleviate unemployment. My reply was no, unfortunately there is a kind of war on free enterprise going on in Washington now, and until that war is ended unemployment will not drop. We should be encouraging job growth and not destroying jobs with bills like the so-called health reform. "
