America’s Economy is Booming

Now that Donald Trump has been president for over a year he gets the credit for what happens to the United States economy. Good or bad he will be blamed or honored. 

As it stands today that makes his presidency a success.  Despite a recent decline the stock market has reached new highs, car sales are high, and job growth has gone from quite good to very good.  Tax cuts have put more money in everyone’s pocket.

313,000 jobs were created in the month of February 2018. This is not fake news.  This is a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that was released today.

Trump’s primary reason for giving him your vote was that he would bring back jobs.  He appears to be on track to fulfill that campaign promise.

Democrats may believe they have a chance of winning control of the House of Representatives in November but that has to be based on Trump’s personal behavior, his continued support of the NRA, and his support of White nationalist groups.  While those are upsetting issues, “It’s the economy, stupid” coined by Bill Clinton strategist James Carville still is the primary issue.  It still holds true today.

The Democratic Party has not been the friend of labor.   They talked a good game as the United States was overwhelmed with low cost imports that drove out car manufacturing to garment manufacturing to electronics manufacturing.  Your iPhone is made in China and Bangladesh and China probably made most of the clothes you wear.  

If the GOP holds both houses of Congress in this fall’s election be prepared for even more changes to American life.

One thought on “America’s Economy is Booming

  1. Today they voted to negate much of the bank regulations and the tariffs on steel and aluminum along with solar power is going to create a possible tariff war which will not be good for our economy. I wish I could think this was all going to end well but history tells us different. Especially the history that led up to the 1929 crash and great depression. Also the revenue shortage from the corporation tax scam won’t hit till next year.
