In a stunning turnaround sparked by the improving economy and last December’s tax cuts, over 95 percent of manufacturers have turned bullish about their future, an all-time record.

A new survey from the National Association of Manufacturers found that 95.1 percent of manufacturers have a “positive outlook for their companies.”

That is the highest outlook number in the 20-year history of the group’s Outlook Survey.

The report, said the group, comes on the six-month anniversary of passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and amid reports that manufacturers are increasing wages, hiring, and capital investments.

“This record optimism is no accident. It is fueled by the game-changing tax reform passed six months ago,” said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons.

The liberal meme is that Trump inherited a growing economy, an economy which was growing due to Obama’s policies.

I know it sounds unbelievable, but that’s what liberals are saying. They say this good economic news has nothing to do with Trump policies or the Trump tax bill.

True, but State Department quislings aren't being taken to as many fancy dinners and their wives have trouble selling out 'tables at charity fashion shows' like they did under Obama and Bush...

The corrupt deep state is starting to whither and it's perks are being swept into the dust bin of history.

That said, it really is amazing and wonderful what happens when a President puts American First... Everyday I'm thankful Trump was elected President.

And forcing countries to eventually cutting tariffs(by slapping tariffs on imports) will also increase exports in the long run.

A win-win for MAGA.
