Remarks by Congressman Paulsen

“The economic policies America needs now are well known – stable prices, a gradual decline in federal spending as a percent of GDP, tax reform that encourages new business investment, balanced regulation, and trade liberalization.”

“It’s the best way to strengthen our economy, create good jobs, and boost the wages of hardworking Americans; and it’s time that the Administration work with Republicans and Democrats in Congress to move our country forward.”
