Congressman McHenry’s Statement on Meeting with President Bush about Creating Jobs, Strengthening the Economy

Washington, Dec 5 -

Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10) today released a statement regarding his meeting with President George W. Bush to discuss creating jobs and strengthening the Western North Carolina economy.

“The President’s tax cuts are providing a foundation for growth that lets people keep their own money, which is why our nation’s economy has shown positive growth for the last 16 quarters.” said Congressman McHenry. “This is important to our region because of the recent job losses, and I will continue fighting to strengthen our economy by providing more education and job training opportunities, cutting taxes, and reducing the Federal budget.”

Congressman McHenry accompanied President Bush today on Air Force One and joined the President on a tour of the John Deere-Hitachi construction machinery plant in Kernersville, NC. Following the tour, the President spoke on improving the nation’s economy through continued tax relief.
