What real Americans in the heartland are saying about the Trump economy
I’ve been on a 50-city Solutions Tour across Indiana over the past two weeks, and the one message that I heard from job creators across my state is that they have never seen a better climate for job growth, bigger paychecks and for companies to reinvest in themselves.
We can thank President Trump’s economic policies.
For example, during a tour of a national food and beverage company, one of the executives pulled me aside to say that the unemployment rate – which is 3.7 percentin America and 3.3 percent in Indiana – is so low that it’s hard to find talented, skilled workers to fill the open positions. This is a great problem to have.
I shared with him that in my business, a logistics company, we shared the benefits of President Trump’s tax cuts with our employees through bonuses, lowering health-care costs, reinvesting in the company and hiring additional employees.
Later that week while touring a manufacturing facility, one of the employees told me how grateful he was that President Trump kept his promise to cut burdensome red tape and eliminate unnecessary regulations.
