jeb bush and i feel it is an american issue with education. we've got to deal with what teachers and students are doing. we have to step up our game. our top priority has to be creating new jobs and opportunities in a fiercely competitive world. this week, we received good news on that front. we learned the unemployment rate has fallen to the lowest level in nearly two years as the economy added another 222,000 private-sector jobs last month. we have a lot more work to do. the progress we are seeing says something about the determination and ingenuity of our people and businesses. what is also helping to fuel the growth of the tax cuts the democrats and republicans came together to pass in december and that i signed into law. the tax cuts are remaking american paychecks bigger and allowing businesses to write off their investments. that is freeing up more money for job creation. just as both parties cooperated on tax relief puling job growth, we need to come together on a budget that cuts spending without slowing economic momentum. we need a g

speaker, i'd like to commend the efforts of representative jeb hensarling for introducing h.r. 36, the emergency homeowner relief program termination act. mr. wilson: this prevents $1 billion from being spent on this failed program. in the current administration's budget it's estimated that the program has a 98% subsidy rate. that means for every $1 spent, taxpayers lose 98 cents. this is bad for taxpayers and bad for american families. making this reform possible is the south carolina federation of republican women which has inspired the republican revolution in south carolina since 1961. this is the 50th anniversary of republican legislator in the 20th century, the late charlie boino. in 2010 the transformation was completed of all statewide elected officials being republicans for the first time since 1876. under the guidance of leaders such as our governor, mikey haily of lexington, with jessica, susan, carla, kim, betty, lisa, grace, katrina and edie, this organization will continue to make a difference, promoting women to government and expanded freedom. in conclusion, god bless o
