Kansas City, Missouri, Sept 05: The US economy is “showing signs of promise,'' President George W Bush said today in Missouri, a state he narrowly won in 2000 and has doggedly courted ever since.
“Our economy is starting to grow again,'' Bush said at the Kansas city Convention center. “Americans are feeling more confident. I am determined to work with the united
States Congress to turn these hopeful signs into lasting growth and greater prosperity and more jobs.''
Bush outlined six steps he said are needed to build confidence among employers. They ranged from energy, tort and health care reform to opening new markets for US products and streamlining regulations. He chided lawmakers seeking to roll back the tax cuts he pushed through Congress, which Bush believes have helped raise disposable income for Americans and are stimulating economic growth nationwide.
In a speech today to about 2,500 businessmen and women, he said congress needs to “make these tax cuts permanent.'' he also vowed not to retreat in the war of terrorism another issue vital to his re-election campaign.
“Our military campaigns and the war on terror have cost our treasury and our economy,'' Bush said, ``yet they have prevented greater costs.''
