                          PRO-GROWTH POLICIES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Georgia (Mr. Ferguson) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. FERGUSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because I want to talk about 
our pro-growth policies that are working for the American people.
  Throughout this year, I have met with small-business owners, college 
students, seniors, and folks all across my district to hear how the Tax 
Cuts and Jobs Act has impacted them. Time and again--time and again--I 
hear the same story: People have more money in their pockets. Their 
businesses are doing well. Their utility bills are lower. Their small 
businesses are expanding. Their economic outlook is better than it used 
to be. And we are headed in the right direction.
  Employers are now investing not only in their businesses but, more 
importantly, in their people. These benefits are not just limited to my 
district in Georgia. Our economy is booming across this great Nation, 
and Americans across this country are reaping the benefits of 
comprehensive tax reform.
  Thanks to our pro-growth policies, we are finally seeing true 
economic recovery, and America is on a path to being the best place in 
the world to do business once again.
  Our work isn't done. We still have work to do. And we will continue 
to fight for the American worker and American business while we make 
this the greatest place in the world to do business. I look forward to 
continuing to work with my colleagues to do just that.
  It is mind-boggling to me, when you look around this great Nation and 
you see the success, that we actually have Members of this body who 
want to take that success away from this country and want to take money 
out of the American people's pockets and bring it right back here to 
Washington, D.C. That is a thought process that I think is wrong, and I 
don't understand it.

  We need to keep fighting for the American family, the American 
worker, the American business, so that this country continues to be the 
best place in the world to do business. Tax reform is an example of how 
we get that done.
