                           MORE MONEY, LESS PROBLEMS

      (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, yesterday, I was grateful
    to learn that Tidewater Boats is investing $8.3 million to expand their
    manufacturing facility in Lexington, South Carolina, creating 100 new
    jobs.
      This news is on top of Aflac announcing they will be expanding their
    700 employees in Columbia, South Carolina, and doubling their employee
    401(k) matching funds.
      On the same day Republicans passed historic tax cuts, AT&T, led by
    Pam Lackey, announced they are providing 200,000 employees a $1,000
    bonus. Comcast will be providing $1,000 bonuses to 100,000 employees.
    BB&T, a valued corporate citizen led by Mike Brennan, will be raising
    their employee wages to $15 an hour and providing a $1,200 bonus for
    27,000 employees.
      Boeing of Charleston announced they will be donating $100 million to
    charities that focus on education, local communities, veterans, and
    military personnel.
      The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is not only for businesses. I appreciate
    that next month American families will see more of their own money in
    their paycheck.
      In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
    September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
      Best wishes to Darrell Issa and Kathy Issa for their dedicated
    service as they announce retirement. We look forward to their continued
    service for the American people.
