Wilson: Numbers Don't Lie

WASHINGTON - Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, today touted the success of Republican economic policies after the Bush Administration announced its revised deficit forecast.

As announced today, the Fiscal Year 2006 budget deficit was $248 billion - drastically below the original forecast of $423 billion. The deficit has now been cut in half three years earlier than President Bush originally promised.

"While Democrats continue to chatter about ‘failed economic policies,' our robust economy continues to produce results that fly in their faces. Republicans' responsible fiscal initiatives have reduced the tax burden on working families, created a business-friendly environment, and set the stage for the record revenue growth of Fiscal Years 2005 and 2006."
