FreedomWorks Statement in Response to Record 157,878,000 Americans Employed in the Month of August

09/06/2019

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to the report that a record 157,878,000 Americans were employed in the month of August, an increase of 590,000 from July, Steve Moore, FreedomWorks Senior Economic Contributor, commented:

“This jobs report squashes pessimistic talk of recession. Americans are still working and businesses are still hiring at better than expected rates. Democrats and talking heads are hoping for a recession, which they see as their only path to defeating President Trump in 2020. This report bodes well not only for President Trump, but for American job seekers and businesses across the nation.”

Such a proposal would make our healthcare system dependent on the whims of nations that subscribe to command and control economic models. There is also the stark reality that imposing price controls does not fix any underlying issues that caused prices to be high in the first place.
