‘Made in America’—the results so far
President
Donald J. Trump ran for office on a simple idea. Too many
politicians, especially on the left, insisted that America must
adjust to a new age of slow growth and declining influence.
Instead, the President innately understood Charles Krauthammer’s
words—delivered in 2009—to be true: “Decline
is a choice.”
So
is American renewal. Better trade deals open markets for
American farmers and protect American workers. Lower taxes on
families and employers reinvigorate American businesses. Fewer
regulations put more power back into the hands of American
citizens and their local governments.
There’s
another key ingredient: “We want to make more products and
say ‘Made in America’,” the President says. “‘Made in
the USA’ is a global symbol" of excellence.
Now,
America is making things again. Almost 200,000 manufacturing
jobs were lost under the previous Administration; more than
400,000 have been added since President Trump was elected. The
latest jobs report reveals that 37,000 manufacturing jobs were
created last month alone.
Manufacturing
wages are expected to rise at the fastest rate in more than 18
years. Evident in this hiring and wage surge is soaring confidence
among American producers. According to the National Association of
Manufacturers, 95 percent of manufacturers have a positive outlook
on their companies—the highest on record.
Aretha Franklin, 1942–2018
As
news of the legendary soul singer Aretha Franklin’s death
broke yesterday, President Trump spoke about her legacy at the top
of his Cabinet meeting.
“I
want to begin today by expressing my condolences to the family
of a person I knew well,” he said. “She’s brought joy to
millions of lives, and her extraordinary legacy will thrive and
inspire many generations to come. She was given a great gift from
God: her voice. And she used it well.”
‘Obamacare forgot about you. But Trump didn’t.’
“For
all the discussion of Obamacare since its passage, it is too
rarely known that the law effectively split the United States’
individual insurance market in two,” Health and Human Services
(HHS) Secretary Alex Azar wrote this week. On one side are those
with subsidies; on the other are Americans who must bear the full
cost of their coverage.
“In
other words, Obamacare has forced unsubsidized Americans to
choose between unaffordable insurance and no insurance at all,”
the Secretary continued.
The
Trump Administration is providing relief for millions of
Americans burdened with Obamacare’s rising premiums. Recently,
HHS expanded an affordable insurance option to give customers more
choice, allowing them to buy short-term, limited-duration
insurance for up to a year.
