On the recordDecember 7, 2005
did you see the great economic news? Last month, November, 215,000 new jobs were created. Just another sign that the positive, productive policies of tax relief are working. In the past 2\1/2\ years, 4.4 million new jobs, an unemployment rate of 5 percent, lower than the average for the 70s, the 80s and the 90s. Look at the economic growth that has occurred over the last 10 quarters, more than 3 percent growth each quarter, 10 straight quarters. Mr. Speaker, this is very good news. The American people expect us to do the responsible hard work that respects their hard work. I call on all Members of Congress to put aside politics and vote in favor of the extension of tax relief for all Americans and not to raise taxes at this pivotal time. ____________________
