Mr. Speaker, last week the National Federation of Independent Business released their May Small Business Optimism Index, which is the highest Small Business Optimism rating in history. The NFIB reports that expansion plans for small businesses have hit an all-time high. The positive sales trends for independent businesses are at their highest level since 1995. These statistics show that the Republican tax cuts and President Donald Trump's economic deregulation have promoted jobs. Thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the National Association of Manufacturers, led by President Jay Timmons, reports 77 percent of manufacturers plan to increase hiring, and 72 percent plan to increase wages or benefits. Current unemployment is 3.8 percent, the lowest level in almost 50 years. In addition, African American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Our sympathy to the family and talented associates of Charles Krauthammer, a megastar for truth on FOX News. ____________________
