             KEEP GROWING THE ECONOMY, NOT THE BUREAUCRACY

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial 
Average rose above 14,000 for the first time ever. What a proud moment 
for all of us.
  For many of us it is not a surprise. This strong economy is a direct 
result of the pro-growth Republican policies that we are fighting for 
every day on this floor. It is a sign of continued and growing investor 
confidence, and it shows that when taxes are low and Americans choose 
how and where to spend more of their money they will choose to invest 
in America and make us stronger.
  This isn't a victory for Wall Street or for big business; it is a 
victory for Americans. Over half of all Americans are invested in the 
stock market. More and more Americans want to participate in this 
strong and growing economy. So they need a Federal Government that 
respects those wishes, not one that will raise their taxes to pay for 
out-of-control spending.
  Let's keep this economy on the right track. Let's rein in spending. 
Let's focus on growing our economy rather than Washington's 
bureaucracy. That is what Americans want.
