February etches another great month for job growth and wages in the Trump economy. The Nation’s unemployment rate dipped back down to a historically low 3.5% while wages grew three percent.
I’m not sure what I found more surprising. That the US government has a rule that allows you to collect social security disability benefits because you don’t speak English or that we are changing the rule to make collecting on those grounds more difficult.
If you are indifferent to the goals of the Greens, you are in for a rude awakening. The American Left’s Green New Deal (GND) really would have a catastrophic effect on our incomes and lifestyles. Don’t believe me? Exhibit One: a UK court just blocked a runway project at Heathrow Airport in London.
When the Democrats were too busy with fake impeachment to do any real work, New Hampshire’s economy was humming. That includes our foreign exports. For the third straight year, we set a new record according to NH Eonomy.com.
The takeaway message from Gov. Chris Sununu’s State of the State address on Thursday was that New Hampshire, like comedian Larry The Cable Guy, gets her done.
The left hates fracking. It creates jobs, stimulates growth in the economy, keeps energy prices down. All things they are happy to sacrifice on the altar of their green socialist god. So, is it any wonder Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a bill to end that growth and prosperity within five years?
While I appreciate the efforts of Vermont Democrats to drive more job creators and commerce into New Hampshire, I must take issue with blatant economic stupidity when I see it. Pseudo-Republican Gov. Scott has vetoed their minimum wage bill. The Democrat’s response is, well, stupid.
My first take on the State of the Union was that Nancy screwed up. Tearing up the speech was terrible optics. A speech loaded with good news (in particular) for women and minorities. Pelosi tore it up and team Trump is making Democrats pay a price.
We teased this Wednesday with ADP and Moody’s reporting that January 2020 had the single biggest monthly rise in payrolls since May of 2015. That lead the way for today’s Department of Labor Report. The economy added 225,000 jobs in January and wages are up.
Democrats sat on their hands as President Trump rattled off historical gains and record-breaking economic improvements for minorities in America. That’s not new, by the way. If you search their congressional web pages you won’t find a word about any of it.
