President Bush's Economic Agenda Has Three Main Goals:

• Encourage consumer spending that will continue to boost the economic recovery.
• Promote investment by individuals and businesses that will lead to economic growth and job creation.
• Deliver critical help to unemployed citizens.

The President's new proposal would:

• Speed up the 2001 tax cuts to increase the pace of the recovery and job creation.
• Encourage job-creating investment in America's businesses by ending the double taxation of dividends and giving small businesses incentives to grow.
• Provide help for unemployed Americans, including extending unemployment benefits and creating new re-employment accounts to help displaced workers get back on the job.
