mr. wilson. a question for mr. wilson and mr. wilcox -- over the past several years, there have been many versions of legislation to remove or raise the cap for member business lending and credit unions. last year, many changes were made to legislation to give more control to the regulator to determine which credit unions should be able to demonstrate a history on business loans. what do you think about changes made by the senator and do they address any of your concerns? >> thank you very much. i would like to respond to one thing as i began that was in the testimony. that is the subchapter s banks do not pay federal taxes. i am not a subchapter s federal bank. i am a bank that pays taxes. i pay taxes twice. i pay taxes at the bank when we make the money and then i dividend to might owners, the shareholders, and they pay taxes on the same income. it is true that subchapter s banks only pay the taxes that is a dividended to their owners, but they do pay federal taxes. it is a misnomer to say they do not. i want to clear that up.

mr. wilson. a question for mr. wilson and mr. wilcox. over the past several years, there have been many versions of legislation to remove or raise the cap for business lending and credit unions. last year senator udall made many changes to his legislation to give more control to the regular -- to determine which credit union should be a will to learn about the current cap and to acquire such a credit union demonstrate a history of underwriting of business loans. what do you think about the changes made by senator udall and do they address any of your concerns? mr. wilson? >> thank you very much. i would like to respond to one thing as i begin here that was in the testimony, and that is that subchapter s. banks don't pay federal taxes. i am not a subchapter s bank. i'm a 750 million-dollar for-profit commercial bank that pays taxes, but i pay taxes twice. i pay taxes at the bank when they make the money, and then i give it did to my owners, the shareholders and they pay taxes on the same income. it is true that subchapter s banks only pay

mr. wilson? >> thank you, mr. chairman. admiral, madam secretary, thank you for being here today. and, admiral, i appreciate your testimony bringing up the extraordinary progress by the american military their service in afghanistan. and i'm just so grateful, too, of your reference to winning in afghanistan. the american people need to know that progress is being made and we can win. and, madam secretary, i appreciate your referencing how important it is that we do win and that we're successful in afghanistan. i wish the american people knew, really, the level of achievement such as the security forces and you've provided the information today, and i appreciate congressman andrews referencing it too. and that is at the end of this year, in the last three years we'll have doubled the number of afghan police and army personnel up to 305,000 personnel, trained personnel. and general bill caldwell has certainly done extraordinary work. i've had the privilege of visiting my former national guard unit, the 218th brigade as they were training afghan forces and i don't think they get the

mr. wilson brought up earlier and mr. davis. talking about the drawdown being determined by conditions on the ground, the movement towards the afghan national police being able to take over. my concern comes from the future of this operation at an economic level. the afghan security forces are taking over more geography. have we created a situation where the afghan economy will not be able to support that? we have to look at this. if the crystal ball says that we will be drawn down to a condition like anorak right now by 2014, what is the dollar amount that the afghan government, the afghan economy is going to have to generate? how much support will be there in a financial sense? >> that is something that we are looking at in great detail right now. once the insurgency in the level of threat is degraded, they may be experiencing their own search right now. maybe they will settle at a lower level. they're working very hard on revenue generation. weather is hot substantially increasing their revenues, working with them on industri

mr. wilson: mr.peaker, i ask permission to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker: without objection. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, this morning's announcement of an increase in the unemployment rate indicates yet again the president's economic policies are failing american families. the out-of-control spending is killing small business job creation. sadly, more than 14 million people are still without jobs and the average price of gasoline is almost $4 a gallon. the president pledged to reduce unemployment to 8% and failed. he pledged to skyrocket energy costs and he succeeded. this is a failure of leadership on job creation and gas costs. american families are at risk. earlier this week the president asked congress to increase the debt limit by $2.4 trillion with no meaningful reforms. reforms are needed because american families need jobs. and the president's request was defeated in a bipartisan vote. house republicans presented the cut-and-combrow congression

close peter we'll show mr wilson what will happen if you keep bailing them out. you know in there you were treaties. it was regulated that there must be any bailouts because. otherwise you would. you would. ruin the public finances of those countries who are contributing to it and as long as each country is responsible for its budget it has to take full responsibility and the only right answer to that is no bailout how the bailouts affect the german economy in germany we are making a lot of efforts to keep public debt under control. we just amended our constitution and put in their so-called truth and pens and kept break. which. defines the steps we have to take with our. budgets. in order to come to zero nine and then start paying the debt back. and it is dangerous if they see us. get infected by. policy national policy of other your partners. in the world it's it is an invitation to have a bigger neighbor policy and say ok you know i don't get any more money from the credits from the capital markets or i just take it from the other countries and they sister thi

example in serbia bombing hospitals schools school buses and even the chinese embassy it seems that mr wilson seems to have forgotten that i take it that means you think nato will in fact intervene in syria i'd like to turn to libya briefly this week report earlier this week suggested that nato sees colonel gadhafi as a legitimate target because the years of course had of the military do you think they have that kind of authority to kill gadhafi without bringing him to justice. well it's the poland of saying that nato has the authority to kill any head of state all heads of state have to be the heads of their military whether it be mr obama in america cozy in france or david cameron in britain what nato is telling the world when you have to read this between the lines headgear respectable legal coverage or not irrespective of who they are right or wrong if i believe they are permanently wrong they have the whole the force the brutal force to impose their agenda their interest and their objectives upon weaker people and what they do have is the support of the global brand of the mainstream med

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the nlrb under the influence of union bosses on tuesday acted again to restrict workers rights. the nlrb proposed new rules that would speed up elections for unionization. in doing so unions would force workers into union memberships before fully considering both the advantages and disadvantages of membership. by implementing a shorter work period or voting period, u.s. chamber vice president randy johnson has revealed this as a cleverly disguised mandate to pressure workers into joining a union without making an informed decision. moreover the nlrb wants to delay litigation over many voter eligibility issues. as chairman john klein stated, they have found faithful friends at the obama nlrb. the job-killing influence of unions over the nlrb must be stopped before it tramples the rights of american workers. killing jobs at boeing in south carolina and now killing jobs across america. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war o

mr. wilson. thank you for being here today and admiral i appreciate your testimony to bring of the extraordinary progress of the american military is like 10 to winning afghanistan the american people and no progress is being made and i appreciate you referencing how important we do i wish the american people knew the level of achievement and you provided the information today and we appreciate the reference that at the end of this year and then double the number up that 305,000 personnel, trained personnel and it has done extraordinary work and i have the privilege of visiting my former national guard unit 218 brigade as their training courses i don't think they get the credit. our military or there's so with that said, i am very concerned about conditions on the ground and for each of you the president did not reference any conditions on the ground that would justify withdrawing 10,000 troops by december and an additional 23,000x summer. every witness before this committee has previously testif

mr. wilson brought up earlier and mrs. davis, talking about the drawdown been determined by conditions on the ground, the movement towards the afghan security forces, the afghan national police, being able to take over security. my concern comes from the future of this operation and an economic level. the afghan security forces are taking over more geography, but are we creating a situation where we have created such a large afghan army that the afghan economy will not be able to support that? rystal balsas we will be drawing down, what is the dollar amount that the afghan economy will have to generate? how much of the u.s. support will still be there in a financial sense? >> that is something we're looking at in great detail now. when the insurgency and the level of threat is degraded, how big of an army and police force do you need? it may be smaller than what we have currently planned. they may be experiencing their own search now. maybe they will settle at a lower level. we are working hard with the afghan government o

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the unemployment rate for the month of may was 9.1%. this marks the 28th consecutive month that unemployment has been at 8% or above. the president said unemployment would never reach 8% with his economic policies. which have sadly failed. tragically almost 14 million americans are unemployed and looking for a job. the average job seeker in america is running unemployed for almost 40 years. almost 10 months. this administration and its job-killing policies continue to spend and borrow money at a reckless rate without understanding a basic and fundamental principle. when the federal government borrows money wildly, it takes it away from the private sector's ability to create jobs. the house republicans have solutions to promote jobs with the cut in congressional plan. first you cut spending and then small businesses add jobs. this is the best way for families to get back on the path to prosperity. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: the gentle

mr. wilson: madam speaker, i ask permission to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. wilson: madam speaker, tomorrow the house committee on oversight and government reform, led by chairman darrell issa, will conduct a field hearing at the boeing company's 1.1 million square foot manufacturing plant in north charleston, south carolina. this will expose an outrage of big government killing jobs. as "the seattle times" correctly editorialized monday, quote, the nlrb is attempting to reverse a u.s. investment by the nation's number one exporter. 17 months after the company decided to make it. after the money's been spent. after the equipment has been set up. after 1,000 workers had been hired. for the government to demand now the company move to another state shows no sense of practical reality. end of quote. south carolina recruited this new second line of 787 dream liners through a package which includes a trained world class work force, right to work laws and pro-business local government of republic

mr. wilson, for five minutes. mr. wilson: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, on tuesday night the people's house spoke loud and clear. no debt limit increase without real spending cuts to promote job growth. liberals wanted to increase the debt limit by $2.4 trillion with no meaningful reforms. at a time when the federal government is borrowing 42 cents of every dollar it spends the last thing americans want to do is raise the government's borrowing limit recklessly killing jobs. liberals in congress need to attach real cuts to any increases they are seeking. that means for every dollar proposed to incroot the debt limit there should be one dollar in cut. it makes sense. tuesday night's vote of 318-97-7 shows that the house is overwhelmingly in agreement with this debt limit increase being denied. over 80 democrats joined with the 237 republicans to vote against the president's debt ceiling request. adding more debt to our economy handicaps small business job creation and aggravates our country's debt crisis even further. this is a direct risk to seni

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, over 750 days have passed since the senate passed a budget. now, liberals in congress are leading the charge to increase the current debt limit. the federal government officially released -- reached its $14.3 trillion debt limit in may. america's finances are now borrow, tax and spend, killing jobs. congress should not raise the debt limit without making serious changes in the way the federal government spends money. recklessly raising the debt ceiling without exercising fiscal restraint will lead to a lower international credit rating, higher borrowing cost and the rise to the imports. this is a threat for america's seniors for risking the value of the dollar. washington must change its way which is now killing jobs. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war on terrorism. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina rise? >> i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one

mr. wilson: ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker: without objection. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, on friday, congressman darrell issa conduct add field hearing in north charleston, south carolina. a witness who really brought home the consequences families will face as a result of the nlrb's job killing complaint with cynthia rainmaker who is currently employed at boeing. bringing a human face to the complaint, she explained how the nlrb is denying her right to work. she explained the boeing's new 1.1 million square foot building is already completed. manufacturing is to begin this summer with over 1,000 jobs already and up to 3,800 more jobs could come. with construction and suppliers ultimately 9,000 jobs would be created. boeing was attracted to south carolina because of the trained, world class work force, a welcoming pro-business climate, right to work laws, and pro-business government of republicans and democrats. the job-killing action of the obama administration is a threat to american workers. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forge

mr. wilson, as far as what language is used to create these rules and standards?on the one hand, it is hard to have hard scientists -- hard sciences set the standards. on the other hand, the public has a bit of an unreadable standard. i think we have rushed in, and often without the best sciences behind it. i understand the motion behind it -- the emotion behind it. host: and this bill, it would cut funding and other things. the bill includes 100 vote -- $108 billion in mandatories bending. -- mandatory spending. guest: whether it is through the nih for the cdc, certainly we have other arturs -- arbiters. all of these entities have scientists on board who are looking at the data and evaluating the science to give us the best sense of what the research suggests we should do. and those guidelines have influenced the standards that were sold -- set forth in the healthy, hungry free kids -- healthy, under free kids campaign. and that actually did give kids the ability to define -- and did give them the ability to define what the standards are in the schools. and now p

mr. wilson: yesterday marked the birthday of the united states army. 236 years ago the united states army was established to defend our families. the army began june 14, 1775, as the continental army. the continental congress established the army to coordinate military efforts among the 13 independent colonies. with victory in the cold war, more people and more countries today live in democracy, freedom, and peace than in the history of the world. due to the success of america's military. promoting the values of loyalty, duty, respect, self-less service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. today's soldiers represent the best of our nation. as the grateful son of an army air corps flying tiger, as the 31-year veteran of the army reserves and army national guard, i know firsthand the confidence and patriotism that service members, especially my wife and i are grateful to have three sons currently serving in the army national guard. my youngest son, second lieutenant hunter taylor wilson, was commissioned last month an engineer through the clemson university rotc. in conclusion, god bles

surae chinn joins us live outside the wilson building with a preview of the much anticipated appearance by mr>> reporter: it is very much so. he was a d.c. employee who was abruptly fired. he may claim that there was inappropriate campaign practices and hiring practices. now he will have to speak out reluctantly in front of the d.c. council committee. he had refused to talk about this, but later was subpoenaed and last week talking with the judge, he was told he would appear today. suleiman brown says he was offered the $110,000 a year job in the department of health care finance if he would help the gray campaign. he says he has phone records to and from the gray campaign and alleges that gray's campaign chairman lorraine grown and another aide paid brown to attack incumbent candidate adrian fenty. brown has a spotty past. we know he was abruptly fired from his d.c. job for alleged incompetence according to a background check he was charged with attempted murder in 1988 in chicago and was found not guilty by trial. he was charged with assault. there wasn't enough evidence to make an indictme

mr. lewis: if one would recognize, "charlie wilson's war" time, we were successful in stopping the soviet union. as we had that success, america often does what we do overseas, we walked away and left a vacuum in afghanistan. and it was that vacuum that let al qaeda and others to train themselves and puts us in the pressure box that we are in today in the country. america must constantly be aware that we are the force for freedom and working together we will continue to have freedom flute the world. having said that, mr. chairman, i want to extend my deepest congratulations to these two gentlemen, these two leaders, bill young and norm dickses, extremely talented -- discs -- dicks. and we have free debate on the floor. that is the strength of our congress. if if the people will be patient with us, we will accomplish some things, indeed, freedom will continue to be a force in the world because of the work of these gentlemen. and our congratulations as well and our best wishes go out to their continuing work and success. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the
