On the recordJanuary 16, 2018
Mr. Speaker, all American families benefit when the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high of nearly 26,000 last week. Students benefit as college endowments grow, reducing tuition costs. Retirees benefit as their retirement accounts appreciate. With increased liquidity, jobs are created for small businesses. It is undeniable that the stock market, with the positive leadership of President Trump, has soared. Rush Limbaugh was correct on his program today that the growth is unprecedented. One year after President Trump was elected, the stock market increased by 28.5 percent. Today, the Dow Jones hit another record high, up over 7,200 points since the 2016 election. Since the start of the year, the stock market has already reached six new record highs. I am grateful for the leadership of President Trump, who has tweeted this achievement, with the leadership of Speaker Paul Ryan and House Republicans. This has promoted economic growth through the anticipation and enactment of bills creating immediate jobs, reduced regulations to allow small businesses to begin hiring again, and reformed our Tax Code so that families will be able to keep more of their hard-earned paycheck. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
