                       REPUBLICAN ECONOMIC GROWTH

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share good news with the 
American people. Republicans' pro-growth economic agenda, combined with 
spending restraint, is driving the deficit down while pushing revenues 
up. In fact, if we can continue along this path of fiscal restraint, we 
will cut the deficit in half by the year 2008.
  In addition to decreasing the deficit, the economy has created 2 
million new jobs in the past year. In fact, over the past 3 years 
America has created more new jobs than Japan and all 25 members of the 
European Union combined.
  Mr. Speaker, tax cuts are working. Our economy is strong and the 
deficit is down.
  Republicans have been working tirelessly and successfully to push our 
economy in the right direction. Democrats, on the other hand, continue 
to push their tax and spend policies, a plan which is neither good for 
the family checkbook nor the American economy.
