President Bush should be commended for his strong leadership on the economy. He has taken bold action to create lasting economic growth. The president's economic growth agenda creates jobs. His economic plan is focused on job creation and helps working families with tax relief.
Promoting investment is another critical component in the president's agenda. Reducing the overall tax burden on small business and eliminating the unfair double tax on dividends spurs investment by individuals and businesses, enabling capital investment and spurring job creation.
President Bush understands that we must save Social Security for seniors and for generations to come. His approach preserves the current system for those at or near retirement while providing new options for the young.
The president's plan puts money back into the pockets of working Americans. Accelerating already enacted tax cuts will encourage consumer spending by giving 91 million taxpayers an average $1,126 in tax relief this year, immediately injecting billions into the economy.
This issue is one more example of how our president is providing courageous leadership.
