                          TAX CUTS ARE WORKING

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  MR. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, it has only been 6 months since the new tax 
reform law was put into place, but already, we are seeing many positive 
economic outcomes.
  Unemployment is at the lowest rate in 18 years; Hispanic and African 
American unemployment has reached a record low; over 1 million jobs 
have been created; and there are now more job openings than job 
seekers. Wages are increasing, and Americans are seeing more money in 
their wallets.
  On top of that, people are also seeing lower utility bills, keeping 
more of their hard-earned money. Small businesses are increasingly 
optimistic about the economy, reporting higher wages for their workers 
and plans for expansion.
  Mr. Speaker, the promising results we have seen in such a short time 
show that the tax cuts are working. And this is just the beginning. 
Let's take these results, build on them, and continue to better the 
lives of the American people.
