President Bush Discusses the Economy in Wisconsin
Allen-Edmonds Shoe Corporation
Port Washington, Wisconsin

THE PRESIDENT: We're at one of America's great companies. It's a privately owned company that is making a good product. This is a company that has benefited because of the tax cuts. It's a sub-chapter s company. You've often heard me talk about cutting taxes on individuals benefits small businesses. This is a company that had benefited from the tax cuts. It's also a company that made additional investments because of the tax relief we passed.

When you make investments, it makes your company more productive. And when you're more productive, it makes you more competitive. So the tax cuts we passed have helped this company. It made a lot of sense. They've also helped our county. This economy of ours is growing. The unemployment rate is 4.6 percent nationally. That's good news for workers. People are making more money. And that's good news for workers.

And as a result of a growing economy, we collected more money for the Treasury. I told the American people we would keep spending down and keep pro-growth policies in place to help cut the deficit in half by 2009. As a result of the Mid-Session Review, the numbers that came out of the Mid-Session Review, I'm able to tell the American people we'll cut the deficit in half by 2008. The projected budget deficit over -- of over $420 billion is now assumed to be $296 billion. See, what happens is when you grow the economy by cutting taxes, more tax revenues come into the Treasury, and that's what we're seeing here
