“Mr. Speaker, I rise today, of course, to join he and my other colleagues in sharing the really great news what we are seeing in the United States economy. As you heard from the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Mario Diaz-Balart) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hensarling), the United States economy grew at the astonishing rate of 7.2 percent in the third quarter. The highest rate since 1984. That warrants the repetition that we are giving it this evening. It is a sign that the President's Jobs and Growth Package is doing exactly what it was supposed to do. And I am so pleased to have been a part of this Congress to help make this a reality. That package that we passed this year helped to generate our growth spurt by bringing economic activity to a higher level. That was exactly the purpose. This, in turn, increased the incomes and the living standards, the living standards for American workers. Not just the living standards for the rich, the living standards for American workers.”
