NEC Dir. Kevin Hassett: Trump’s Economic Policies Are Realigning the American Economy in a Positive Direction

EXCERPT:

HASSETT: “The bottom line is that, as Steve Moore said, that President Trump’s policy is a supply-side policy that’s realigning the American economy in a very positive way. So, government employment was down, employment for everything else was up. But most importantly, the construction is actually — so, construction, factory worker construction was up about 12,000 jobs. There might be a rounding difference between me and Ed. And the 12,000 jobs mean there are 112,000 people working building factories right now that weren’t doing that when President Trump took office. And we’re seeing that also like, in the GDP numbers this week, where GDP was revised up dramatically because of capital spending and a lot of it was building factories.”
