Steve Moore: Middle-class Incomes Surge More Than $5,000 Under Trump Economy

10/07/2019

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In his Fox News opinion piece, Steve Moore, FreedomWorks Senior Economic Contributor highlighted a recent Sentier Research report that shows dramatic increases in middle-class incomes since President Trump assumed office in January, 2017.

Steve Moore, FreedomWorks Senior Economic Contributor, commented:

“President Trump's numbers, which show middle-class income gains of $5,003, contrast sharply with the 16 years before he was elected. Under George W. Bush, median income barely showed any gain, up just $401 thanks to the deep recession of 2008. Under Barack Obama, incomes inched up by $1,043. This means that in the 16 years before the Trump presidency, incomes rose by about $1,500 while in less than three years middle incomes have risen three times faster.

“The past few months has been one of the biggest middle-class success stories in modern times, and it is a testament to the success of the Trump tax, regulatory and energy policies.”

Since President Biden’s first week in office, he has fulfilled his campaign promise of suspending the program of leasing federal land for oil and gas production through his direction of the Department of the Interior. However, Monroe U.S. District Court Judge Terry A. Doughty, appointed during the Trump administration, issued a preliminary injunction to block the pausing of new oil and gas leases claiming Biden is overstepping his power and that it must be done with congressional approval.
