President Commends House for Progress on Jobs and Growth Package
I commend the House for making great progress toward passing a Jobs
and Growth package that will spur economic growth and create jobs for
American workers. The tax relief package passed by the House today
includes all of the elements of my original plan, including
accelerating all income tax rates, increasing small business expensing,
increasing the child credit, delivering significant marriage penalty
relief, and addressing the unfair double tax on dividends. I look
forward to building on this success to deliver the economic boost
America's workers deserve.
