Within minutes of the June jobs report being announced — 213,000 new jobs for the month and 3,700,000 new jobs in the last 17 months — a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee called this news “reckless”.
Later, U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi claimed President Donald Trump’s economic policies are hollowing out America.
I’m reminded of former President Barack Obama’s speech to steel workers in Ohio, when he warned that most of the traditional industrial jobs are not coming back, and then commented that candidate Trump’s promise to reverse this is talk only. He assured them of that. Pretty willfully ignorant of any other possibility. Who talks to voters like this? Losers, typically.
Well, now, the economy in 2018 totally repudiates eight years of Democratic rule in Washington, D.C. Listening later, the petrified media, rather than acknowledging more people have employment, especially minorities, chose to keep listeners angry, promoting a collision course over a Supreme Court opening, or the sudden outrage over confining kids at the southern border, or continuing deportation of illegal immigrants, and the newest cause, eliminating ICE.
On the latter points, not one Democrat or media outlet is talking about border reform, and that more than anything was the issue that got Trump elected President. Technocrats are not accountable to voters, but those in Congress and the Senate are. We will offer our verdicts in the upcoming midterms.
