Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) took her opportunity to speak at a House Ways and Means Committee hearing to criticize the rising incomes and increased employment of minorities that has been sparked by Republican policies of less regulation and lower taxes.
“GDP is great, unemployment is at an all-time low, African Americans are doing well, Hispanics are doing well, wages are rising at the fastest pace in ten years, blah, blah, blah,” she admitted. “The beneficiaries are only those who are willing to work. There was no boost in income for those unwilling to work. In fact, the lowered unemployment was largely achieved by luring people to join the workforce. The tremendous loss of what was formerly paid leisure time remains unacknowledged by the GOP.”
Moore held forth the remedy that the Green New Deal will provide “to correct the imbalances created by the Trump economy. By making it explicit that everyone in this country is entitled to a decent living without having to endure the suffering inherent in actually working for a living we will guarantee that both the industrious and the indolent are treated equally under the law.”

As a consultant for large companies, I’m in the market frequently. I won’t even tell y’all how bad the Great Recession was for me but suffice it to say it was really awful. It lasted for years and years - long after the liars in the MSM were praising Obama for having ended it. Years after.
I clearly noticed the economy improving in the Fall of 2017 as Trump’s tax cuts and deregulation took effect. I just started today on another project that pays me 9% more than my previous contract. My income has gone up a staggering 1/3rd in two years. This, while the liars in the MSM are trying to fear monger by telling us a recession is right around the corner. BS. The truth is exactly the opposite of what they claim.
