“I see encouraging news each week proving that President Bush's tax cuts and his economic policies are clearly paying off for the American people and the American economy. In May, over 78,000 Americans found new jobs and over 3.5 million jobs have been created in the last 2 years. The job growth amounts to more jobs created in America than new jobs in France, Germany, England, Canada, and Japan combined. Although we have seen steady job gains for each of the last 24 months, I know President Bush will not be satisfied until every American who wants to work can find a job. Additionally, the gross domestic product has been revised upward for the first quarter from 3.1 to 3.5 percent. With more Americans working more than ever, our flourishing economy is also shrinking the national deficit. Last week, the Treasury Department announced the May deficit has decreased by $27 billion, which is the smallest deficit for the month of May since 2001. President Bush and the Republican Members of Congress are committed to cutting the deficit in half in 5 years. In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September 11. ____________________”
