If actions speak louder than words, then results are deafening. And we’ve seen incredible results thanks to hard-working Americans, our historic tax cuts and finally having pro-growth regulatory reform. The number of Americans filing for unemployment has fallen to a 49-year low. The U.S. economy grew by 4.2 percent in the second quarter of this year, marking the fastest economic expansion in nearly four years. Wages climbed in August by the most since the recession ended in 2009. Unemployment is at an historic low of 3.9 percent. And Americans are seeing more take-home pay in their paychecks. Maybe that’s one reason why Americans are so optimistic and consumer confidence and job satisfaction are at historic highs.
