In Ohio, Gutierrez Highlights Economy, Touts Export Success and Calls for Congress to Make Tax Cuts Permanent

Cincinnati, Ohio (May 29)—At the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos M. Gutierrez addressed the economy, record exports and the need to make permanent the Bush tax cuts of 2003. He also discussed the new first quarter gross domestic product estimate, which showed our economy grew at 0.9 percent, rather than the previous estimate of 0.6. “Because of the tax cuts, Americans have already saved $1.3 trillion in taxes through the end of last year. Congress needs to make these tax cuts permanent … and we need to open more markets for U.S. exporters.” (Remarks) (Statement)
