<\/p>\nRUSH: I talked about it on Friday: Walmart is roaring back. Their second quarter earnings blew the doors off expectations. Their e-commerce sales rose a stunning 40%. Every aspect of their operation grew \u2013 food, apparel, seasonal merchandise \u2013 everywhere across the country. It\u2019s Walmart\u2019s best showing in 10 years.<\/p>\n
Now, the turnaround is partly due to a new online strategy, to compete with Amazon. But the biggest factor is consumer strength — and that\u2019s because of the Trump tax cuts. Shoppers have more money in their pockets, and there are more consumers with more money because more people are getting paychecks.<\/p>\n
Americans are earning again, and they\u2019re spending.<\/p>\n
During the second quarter, the whole economy grew at a rate of 4.1%. Many companies, like the Home Depot, are growing again.<\/p>\n
Do you remember when Barack Hussein O mocked Donald Trump\u2019s promise to grow our economy? Obama asked what kind of \u201cmagic wand\u201d Trump had. He called Trump\u2019s pledge to roll back regulations \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Well, none of this is magic, or crazy. It\u2019s what always happens when the government\u2019s boot is taken off the economy\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n
Democrats do understand it. They want the government getting credit for prosperity, but the government can\u2019t make that happen. It never has, never will. Not for everybody.<\/p>\n
See you next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
