Wilson Statement on Booming Economy

Democrats cannot deny growth

WASHINGTON – Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, today released the following statement after the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at an all-time high of 12,011:

“Following yesterday’s showing of trading above 12,000 for the first time in history, the Dow today closed at another all-time high.  While Democrats continue to bemoan Republican economic policies, American families are reaping the benefits.  Earning higher wages and burdened with fewer taxes, American workers are thriving.

“Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Charles Rangel recently stated that ‘When [he] become[s] chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, we [Democrats] will have power over the entire tax system, Social Security system, pension system, Medicare and all international trade.’ 

“Given the Democrats’ tax-and-spend record, I cannot think of anything more frightening for the American people and their pocketbooks.”
