                        PROGROWTH POLICIES WORK

  (Mr. BUDD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUDD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about the state of the 
economy and how progrowth policies are helping my district.
  A headline last month on CNBC read: ``Jobs Surge in April, 
Unemployment Rate Falls to the Lowest Since 1969.'' The U.S. added 
263,000 new hires last month, including over 13,000 jobs in North 
Carolina. On top of that, the labor participation rate increased. Many 
people are coming off the sidelines and into the workforce, and the 
manufacturing output continues to go up.
  Mr. Speaker, when we cut taxes, slash red tape, and give employers 
more certainty, they are able to employ more people. This just isn't 
rocket science.
  Just a few days ago, my district received great news. Honda Aircraft 
announced plans to expand its global headquarters in Greensboro by 
investing $15.5 million in a new facility on its campus. This will be a 
huge boost for Guilford County, and that is why we cannot afford to go 
backwards.
  Tax cuts work.
  Progrowth policies work.
