Columbia (AP) - Governor Mark Sanford is happy with President Bush's proposal to stimulate the economy.

Sanford says what Bush proposed for the nation is what should happen in South Carolina, as well. 

The Republican governor says the best way to improve the economy is to invest in the economy, not more government. 

Bush proposed immediate tax cuts already approved by Congress to spur the economic growth by giving people more money and improving the bottom line for small businesses. 

Sanford says it's important that South Carolina not raise taxes as Congress is cutting taxes. 

Senator Lindsey Graham also praised Bush's economic proposals. The new Republican Senator says it's important to reform the Social Security system. 

Third District Congressman Gresham Barrett also praised Bush's address.
