109th Republicans Deliver Accomplishments for America

109TH REPUBLICANS DELIVER ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR AMERICA -- (House of Representatives - May 04, 2005)

(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, America's economic future is bright. Since May 2003, more than 3 million American jobs have been created, and we have had 22 straight months of job growth. In the last month alone, more than 110,000 Americans have found jobs.

In the past 100 days, House Republicans have delivered a long list of accomplishments that are spurring economic growth and making a positive difference for millions of American families. The 109th Congress has passed legislation that will permanently repeal the death tax, decrease the deficit, strengthen America's borders, prevent frivolous lawsuits, improve our highways, and provide our country with a comprehensive energy plan. Because of our continued efforts, the unemployment rate is now at the lowest level since September 2001.

Each of these accomplishments will ensure that our economy continues to improve. However, we will not be satisfied until every American who wants a job can find a job. Although Democrats continue to try to obstruct our positive agenda, House Republicans will remain dedicated to helping American workers take care of their families.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, God bless Grace Christian School, and we will never forget September 11.
