White House Fact Sheet – Taking Action to Keep Our Economy Healthy: “Today, President Bush asked Congress to work with him to enact an economic growth package as soon as possible to keep our economy growing and creating jobs. By passing an effective growth package quickly, we can provide a shot in the arm to keep our fundamentally strong economy healthy and help keep instability in the housing and financial markets from more adversely affecting the overall economy. The President has asked Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to lead the Administration’s efforts to forge an agreement with Congress so that we can deliver this needed boost to our economy as quickly as possible.”
