President Bush Touts Flourishing Economy
President Bush yesterday met with his economic team at his Crawford ranch to promote positive economic news. "Bush touted the strength of the economy and promoted his domestic agenda, including tax and Social Security reform," in remarks to reporters, says USA Today. The President, "citing 200,000 jobs created in July and economic growth in the second quarter of a 3.4% annual rate," told reporters, "Americans have more money in their pocket, and that's good news." Bush also said "he'll renew efforts this fall for passage of an overhaul of Social Security and limits in cash awards in medical liability lawsuits," and that he "looks forward to recommendations due next month from a presidential panel studying ways to simplify the tax code."
