Meanwhile, optimism among manufacturers remains near all-time highs. More than 93% of manufacturers have a positive outlook on their company’s prospects in the U.S. economy – the second-highest level ever recorded by the National Association of Manufacturers – its most recent quarterly survey revealed....

Another story for the MSM to spike. They can run the story that Stormy D was given the key to the city in West Hollywood instead (yes they actually did).

This needs to be pounded over and over and make the Goebbelsmedia respond. This and the danger of Illegalism which the Democrats fully support are the legs of this fall and will carry the Gop to victory.

but there are Nancy Pelosi’s crumbs.

At the recent CNN town hall, a business owner said how much he’s benefited from the tax bill, and he gave his employees bonuses and raises.

And in any conflict between the truth, and a liberal talking point, the liberal talking point takes priority. At least in the liberal and media minds.
