FreedomWorks Statement in Response to NFIB Small Business Optimism Index August Report

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to the recent news that the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index has risen to 108.8, the highest level ever recorded, Steve Moore, FreedomWorks Senior Economic Contributor, commented:

“Optimism is a prelude to risk taking, entrepreneurship and investment. Trump’s pro-business agenda has sparked a boom in optimism and confidence that government won’t hurt them.”

The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index has risen now to a higher level than at any point during the Reagan administration.
