‘We need to
build FAST’
Five of President Donald J. Trump’s
Cabinet secretaries traveled to Capitol Hill yesterday to
testify before the Senate Commerce Committee on the pressing
need to rebuild American infrastructure. Transportation
Secretary Elaine Chao, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Labor
Secretary Alex Acosta, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, and
Energy Secretary Rick Perry represented the Administration.
“We need to build FAST
& we need to build for our FUTURE,” President Trump
tweeted. He also thanked the Commerce Committee for hosting
this important hearing.
One month ago, the
President laid out his six principles for building a stronger
America:
1. Using $200 billion in
Federal funds to spur at least $1.5 trillion in
infrastructure investments from States, localities, and the
private sector
2. Making new
investments in rural America, which has been
left behind for too long
3. Returning
decision-making authority to State and local
governments
4. Removing regulatory
barriers that needlessly get in the way of projects
5. Streamlining and
shortening the permitting process
6. Supporting and
strengthening America’s workforce

Tax cuts come
home
Yesterday, President Trump joined business
leaders and workers in Missouri to discuss what tax cuts have
done for the economy since they were signed into law just
before Christmas.
As a result of tax
reform, more than 430 companies have announced pay raises,
bonuses, or 401(k) hikes that benefit more than 4 million
Americans. In Missouri specifically, companies such as Central
Bancompany, Hawthorn Bank, and Kansas City Southern have
announced bonuses of up to $1,000 for workers.
“Passing tax reform
was just the latest signal from the president that America is
once again open for business and that he is committed to
ensuring we remain the world’s most vibrant economy,”
Missouri Lt. Gov. Mike Parson wrote this week. “Jobs are
being created and companies are investing more in growth
because they know they can trust Trump to make the right
decisions.”

St.
Patrick’s Day and Irish heritage in America
Today,
Ireland’s Taoiseach—Ireland’s term for its head of
government—is visiting the White House ahead of St. Patrick’s
Day. Leo Varadkar, who has served as Taoiseach since last June,
continues a long tradition of visits from Ireland’s leader to
the United States to mark the international Irish holiday.
The Taoiseach’s visit
offers a moment to reflect on the importance of the Irish
people and their descendants to American history. These
contributions date back to our Nation’s beginning: At least
eight signers of the Declaration of Independence, including
four of the Founding Fathers, had Irish roots.
“As we spend this
month honoring Irish Americans, we also pledge to further
strengthen our relationship with the Emerald Isle itself,”
President Trump wrote in his Proclamation honoring
Irish-American Heritage Month.
