President's Statement on America's Economic Growth
America's economy is on the fast track. Today's revised report by the
Commerce Department indicates our economy grew at 5.3 percent for the first
quarter of this year. That is the fastest growth in two-and-a-half years and
another clear sign that our economy is powerful, productive, and
prosperous. I commend America's workers, small business owners, and
innovators for contributing to this strong economic growth. I will
continue to work to pursue pro-growth policies, make the tax cuts
permanent, and restrain government spending so that opportunity reaches
every American neighborhood and every American family.
