Sour Pelosi: Strong job growth a ‘raw deal' for American people |
2018-07-16 |
![]() "June jobs numbers show what is at stake from the brewing storm of rising health costs, spiraling trade uncertainty and an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent," Pelosi said in a statement. "Six months after receiving their windfall from the GOP tax scam for the rich, Corporate America is on track to spend $1 trillion on dividends and stock buybacks, while announcing tens of thousands of layoffs, refusing to give workers a raise and raising costs for families. Meanwhile, hard-working farmers, factory workers and families across the nation are reeling from retaliatory tariffs and trade uncertainty. America should be taking strong, smart and strategic action against unfair trade policies, not recklessly antagonizing our allies and inviting retaliation against the men and women of American farming and manufacturing," she said. "The American people deserve so much better than the raw deal they are getting from the cynical Republican special interest agenda. Democrats know that the American people deserve A Better Deal, with Better Jobs, Better Wages and a Better Future. Democrats will never stop fighting for the hard-working middle class families who are the backbone of our nation." Last month, Pelosi was equally negative about the positive economic news. |

#11 "June jobs numbers show what is at stake... (They are hiring non-Union, where's MY kickback!?!) from the brewing storm of rising health costs,... (Big Pharma! Big Insurance! Yoo-Hoo! Where's my ...spiraling trade uncertainty (Okay, CA seaport business taking a hit would be bad for the constituents, so give her a Pass on this one) ...and an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent,"... (That Pelosi is one of those 'wealthiest 1%' is irrelevant, right? Right?) Pelosi said in a statement. |

#4 So according to her, no job growth and higher taxes are the way to go. Whoopee, that's a bandwagon to jump on. Sure-fire election winner (sarc). Keep plugging that Nancy. You're on a roll. |

#2 ...All I know is this: I have never worked as hard as I am now...and I've never made as much as I am now. I got a pretty substantial raise, an our customers have material pouring in for work. I'll take it. Mike |

#1 The dems need to fine those workers more for being productive in order to improve their lives (and also the lives of bribable senators who direct that loot) |
