On the recordMarch 18, 2004
we in the Congress have been working hard to improve the economy and to help to create an environment that allows for new jobs. This morning we received some more good news that shows that the economy is improving and that the President's economic growth package is working. The Labor Department reported that initial claims for unemployment benefits fell by 6,000 last week. This is the lowest level in more than 3 years. By cutting taxes for every American taxpayer and job provider, we are making it easier for employers to create new jobs and certainly to help our families meet their needs. We cannot turn back the momentum in the recovery as some on the other side have suggested. No tax increase ever created a job. The only way to continue to grow our economy and to create new jobs is to hold the line on taxes. Today's good news is welcome, and we will continue the fight for lower taxes and for more jobs.
