Economic growth continues to outpace expectations at a rate of six percent over the past six months. The across the board tax cuts are working to fuel growth. This year we must make this tax relief permanent and keep the fuel on the fire.
Federal spending remains a serious problem. As Vice-Chairman of the Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Efficiency and Financial Management I have heard all the excuses as to why we have cost overruns, automatic funding increases, and plain old fraud, and abuse. I plan on working with my conservative colleagues to lead a systematic attack on the rampant spending problem. That is the only way to make progress.
One quick note on a question I get a lot. There is no doubt we are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. Immigration needs to continue in a fair, systematic and orderly manner. That does not mean our borders should be left unprotected. I oppose amnesty for illegal aliens.
As always it is an honor to serve you. If I can be of service in any way please don't hesitate to call.
Please note the attached invitation to our Women of Distinction luncheon featuring Congresswoman Katherine Harris.
Thank you.
