“I thank the chairwoman for hosting this very important Special Order, and I am so glad that we are talking about the tremendous benefits that we have seen from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed just over 6 months ago. During the last 6 months, we have heard a lot of impressive statistics about the national economy. We have heard about unemployment being down to 3.8 percent. We have heard about second quarter GDP being projected at in excess of 4 percent. We have heard about there being more available jobs than there are available workers in this country for the first time since the Labor Department has been keeping that statistic. It is really impressive what the national economy has been doing over the past 6 months, but what matters most to me and what matters most to Hoosiers back home in the Ninth District is, what it is doing for them; what it is doing for their small businesses; what it is doing for their pocketbooks; what it is doing for their families; and what it is doing for their communities. In Ellettsville, Joe said: Per month, my wife and I alone will receive over $200, and for our family, that really helps us out. That is groceries for an entire week. Down in New Albany, Will said: As a small businessowner, I am now able to invest more in our company and employ more qualified people. These are just two stories of what I hear day in and day out when I am traveling about the district. When I go to townhalls, I hear about the tax reform.…”
