<\/p>\nRUSH: We have economic news that\u2019s just out the wazoo here, folks. Let me give you a summary of this economic news. And it\u2019s gonna be ignored in the way I am presenting it to you. You may get raw data, raw numbers here, a number of people working, a number of new claims of unemployment, number of new jobs, this kind of thing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since Election Day, the American economy has added 3.7 million jobs. That\u2019s a year and a half, folks. Since Election Day 2016 — well, it\u2019s coming up on two years since the election. Maybe 1.75 years, the American economy has added 3.7 million jobs, 601,000 more Americans have entered the labor force, a total of 155,576,000 Americans are working. It is a record high. The jobs report for June has beaten forecasts, added 213,000 jobs. There is no doubt, it is crystal clear that Trump economics works and is sustaining.<\/p>\n
So now I take you to a news story from the Washington Examiner, the headline: “Dems Blast Booming Jobs Report, Trump Worker Agenda, \u2018Reckless\u2019<\/a> — Democrats saw nothing positive in the new June jobs report that highlighted 213,000 new jobs added. Instead, the Democratic Party issued a statement criticizing President Trump\u2019s jobs agenda as ‘reckless.'”<\/p>\n How in the world do you get that? How in the world do you turn a booming economy with 3.7 million new jobs since the election into a raw deal? Related to rising health care costs, trade uncertainty, an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations? Look. The people getting jobs are people that didn\u2019t have jobs during the Obama administration.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the Democrat National Committee statement. “After the U.S. Department of Labor released the latest jobs and unemployment numbers, DNC Chair and former Labor Secretary Tom Perez released the following statement: ‘With slow wage growth, rising health care premiums, and skyrocketing gas prices across the country, Donald Trump\u2019s reckless policies are hurting millions of hardworking families. Trump and Republicans in Congress have been so determined to undermine workers that they held a Supreme Court seat hostage for nearly a year –‘” (laughing) These people!<\/p>\n Folks, I know the left like nobody does and this is deranged. I\u2019m telling you, I can predict on a daily basis what the left is gonna do, what they\u2019re gonna say, how they\u2019re gonna react. My most recent prediction, I told you within moments of Anthony Kennedy\u2019s retirement that the Democrats would say Trump has no business picking a replacement or any other judge while the Russia investigation\u2019s going on. It took 30 minutes for that prediction to come true.<\/p>\n I could not have predicted this. To find 3.7 new jobs, 601,000 additional people working, and this is now reckless. This is reckless. It\u2019s hurting millions of hardworking families.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is all part of the Republican playbook,” Perez said. “For decades, Republicans and their wealthy corporate allies have been chipping away at workers\u2019 rights, weakening unions, and depressing wages \u2013 all while giving massive tax cuts to the top 1%.”<\/p>\n This is comical. This is how bereft they are. This is how vacant. What\u2019s their solution? Government needs to get bigger? This is all bad, too many jobs created that government had nothing to do with? Health care costs skyrocking. Do you realize, folks, what a dramatic shift — I mean, as recently as Obama administration they were talking about the economy and trying to say that it was great in order to boost Obama.<\/p>\n It has been traditional that back pocket issues have been largely a determining factor for who wins elections. Now, I understand they\u2019re not gonna give Trump credit for anything, I understand that, but the way to go about it is certainly not to call it reckless and irresponsible and somehow benefiting only the top 1%, when people all over the country who not only did they not have jobs during Obama, they were told not to expect them.<\/p>\n In fact, let\u2019s go back to the audio sound bites. Go back and grab sound bite No. 5. Here is Barack Obama. This is during the campaign when Trump promised to do exactly what he has delivered. Trump promised to deliver, and he has. On June 1, 2016, PBS ran a special, “Questions for President Obama.”<\/a> It was a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, and a Carrier employee said, “Look, I\u2019m representing a steelworkers union.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m trying to find out what do we have left. All our jobs are leaving Indianapolis. I see here you\u2019re doing a lot of things, but in Indianapolis there\u2019s nothing there for us. I mean, what\u2019s next? What can we look forward to in the future as far as jobs, employment, whatever, because all of our jobs have he left or are in the process of leaving. So what can we do, Mr. Obama?”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/410-Pelosi.jpg\")
How in the world — I mean, of all the things that you might want to say about it, what, there are too many jobs? Too many jobs? There\u2019s too much competition for workers which raises wages? Nancy Pelosi: “The June #JobsReport shows what is at stake from the brewing storm of rising health costs, spiraling trade uncertainty & an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations & the wealthiest 1 percent. Americans deserve better than the GOP\u2019s raw deal.”<\/p>\n
