                           ECONOMIC OPTIMISM

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, recent polling shows great optimism about our 
country, as Americans believe they are better off today than they were 
before President Trump's conservative economic policies were enacted.
  According to a Gallup poll released on February 5, almost 60 percent 
of Americans say they are better off financially now than last year, 
and close to 75 percent say that they expect to be even better off 
financially in 1 year. This is the highest level on record.
  Strong, conservative principles have created historically low levels 
of unemployment for Americans regardless of their race, age, religion, 
or gender.
  Our Nation was built by Americans working to create a better future 
for their children and their grandchildren. Both Democrats and 
Republicans must fight the growing calls for socialism and instead 
support the proven conservative policies implemented by this 
administration that allow our economy to grow and help build a brighter 
future for generations to come.
