job growth on record. Since August of 2003, American businesses –
American small businesses and large businesses, American entrepreneurs
and dreamers and doers have created more than 8.3 million new jobs.
The national unemployment rate is a low 4.7 percent. Here in Indiana,
the unemployment rate is even lower — 4.5 percent. Thanks to
America’s workers and entrepreneurs, our economy grew at a vigorous
rate of 3.9 percent in the third quarter. This economic vitality, this
economic growth is lifting our federal tax revenues — and that’s
driving down the deficit. The deficit today is at 1.2 percent of GDP.
And that’s low.” -
