Springfield, MO – President Bush says there's no need to look further than the Ozarks to see that his policies are working to improve America.
Bush heard from the owners of two small businesses as well as the CEO of another company and two of his employees during a stop today at SRC Automotive in Springfield, Mo.
The president served as moderator during a 45-minute forum in which he touted his tax policy, his record of job creation and his policy on fighting terrorism.
CEO Jack Stack says SRC Automotive is looking at 18 percent growth this year, including adding new employees and expanding product lines. The company re-builds engines for passenger vehicles, race cars and boats.
His employee Gary Brown told the president that his family used its $3,000 tax refund last summer to put braces on his daughter's teeth.
