I rise today to shine some light on the good economic news that continues to roll in. This is further proof that Republican pro-growth policies of low taxes are working for the American people. The economy grew at an annual rate of 1.6 percent in the final quarter of last year. January's unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent, which is the lowest monthly rate since 2001, and lower than the average rate in the seventies, the eighties and the nineties. There have been 29 consecutive months of job gains. The economy has created over 2 million jobs over the past 12 months. Economists are now predicting that growth will clock in at an amazing 4.5 percent in the current January to March quarter. In order for this good news to last, Congress must fight its urge to spend too much and continue to foster a positive environment for the economy for it to thrive. ____________________

Mr. Cadden, 32 people have died, 400 people are infected, and scores of others who were injected with medicine your company compounded are waiting, holding their breath to see if they will get sick from the products you have made.
