“In a recent report released by the U.S. Census, it was revealed that the median household income in the United States rose by 6.8 percent in 2019. I want to repeat that. The median household income in the United States rose by 6.8 percent in 2019. This was the highest annual increase on record, and it is all thanks to the commonsense, progrowth policies that are being led by President Trump and congressional Republicans. Not surprisingly, household incomes also grew 50 percent faster last year than the entire 8 years of the Obama administration. The good news doesn't stop there. New small business applications increased twice as much in President Trump's first 2 years in office versus President Obama's last 2. Mr. Speaker, it is quite evident that progrowth policies are the difference between inflating government bureaucracy and empowering American families. It is just that simple. Mr. Speaker, on September 23, there was an article in The Washington Times titled ``Trump creates jobs. Biden destroys them. It's not complicated,'' and I include in the Record the article. Trump creates jobs. Biden destroys them. It's not complicated. Trump's record proves that he knows how to create a strong economy. Donald Trump has proven that he knows what it takes to create jobs on a massive scale and ensure that prosperity is shared by all Americans.…”
