Carter Statement on the State of the Union Address
Washington,
January 30, 2018
Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (R-Ga.) released the following statement in response to President Donald J. Trump's State of the Union Address tonight:
"President Trump spoke tonight about the strong state of our union. Over the past year, Congress has worked with President Trump to produce concrete results for the American people. Due to a bold agenda and pro-growth legislation like the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, our economy is growing, unemployment is down, and companies across the nation are creating jobs and investing in their employees. We continue to see companies announce wage increases, bonuses, increased benefits, and investments in our economy. "We will continue building on this work with President Trump in the House as there is still a lot work to do. United, we will push forward to improve American infrastructure, strengthen our military and national defense, combat the opioid crisis, lower health care and prescription drug costs, and more. Together, we will continue on this bright path towards a safer and stronger America." |
