                     TAX CUTS PRODUCE BOOM IN JOBS

  (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, the latest results are in 
from the Republican tax cuts, with Trump deregulation, producing jobs: 
$2,059 average tax cut for a typical family of four; $2,000 new per 
child tax credit, double the old amount.
  Sixteen regulations rolled back through the Congressional Review Act 
process, the most in history. Ninety percent of Americans are receiving 
bigger paychecks under the new withholding tables.
  A 3.4 percent increase in real disposable income in the first quarter 
of 2018; a record high level of U.S. exports of goods and services, 
over $200 billion; 3.7 million jobs created since November 2016; 1.3 
million jobs created since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act became law; 6.6 
million job openings as of May 2018, meaning more jobs than job 
seekers. Sixty-five percent of Americans now say it is a good time to 
find a quality job.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
