The President Who Says BITE ME! WhiteHouse.Gov Article Declares, "Six Months Later: Tax Reform Delivers An Economic Resurgence"


Thanks to The Last English Prince:


A BOOMING ECONOMY: Just 6 months after President Donald J. Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law, the American economy is booming and confidence is soaring.
  • President Trump’s tax cuts have revitalized the American economy, with 54 percent of Americans now rating the economy as good or excellent, the highest ever recorded by CNBC.
  • Businesses are bringing money held overseas back to the United States.
    • In the first quarter of 2018, more than $300 billion was repatriated back to the United States, setting a new record high, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
  • Optimism among employers has reached historic highs in the 6 months since the tax cuts.
    • Manufacturer optimism has reached its highest level in the 20-year history of the National Association of Manufacturers survey.
    • Small business optimism stands at its second-highest level on record since the National Federation of Independent Business began its survey 45 years ago.
  • The economy looks poised to continue its winning streak, with many economists expecting second quarter GDP growth to exceed 4 percent.
A WIN FOR AMERICAN WORKERS AND FAMILIES: American workers and families have seen some of the biggest benefits from President Trump’s tax cuts.
  • Americans are seeing more money in their paychecks following President Trump’s cuts.
    • More than 6 million American workers have received a bonus as a result of the tax cuts.
    • In the first 3 months of 2018, nominal hourly compensation for workers grew at its fastest rate in at least a decade.
  • Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe now is a good time to find a quality job, according to Gallup.
  • The unemployment rate has fallen to 3.8 percent, matching the lowest level in nearly 50 years.
  • Job openings reached a record high of 6.7 million in April 2018, topping the number of job seekers for the first time on record.
  • Families are benefiting from lower utility bills, as 30 million Americans in at least 30 states have had their utility bills cut as a result of the tax cuts.
  • American workers can expect to see even more gains moving forward, as employers plan to hire more workers and boost compensation according to recent surveys.
CRITICS’ PREDICTIONS FALL FLAT: The positive results of President Trump’s tax cuts are proving the alarmist opponents flat-out wrong.
  • The dire predictions by critics of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act simply do not match up with the incredible results seen over the last 6 months.
  • House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) referred to the bill to “Armageddon.”
  • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed, “what has been sold as a job creator and wage booster will, of course, do little of either.”
  • The day after President Trump’s election, the liberal columnist and economist Paul Krugman said, “we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight.”
