This type of thing gets buried under the news of the Comey firing and Democrats' screeching for an independent counsel to investigate something, anything, however small, that they can use to discredit Donald Trump.
But there's increasing evidence that Trump having gotten elected and focusing on helping the economy is actually helping the economy. The economy consists of people making something and other people buying it. Both sides of the transaction had to have enough optimism to proceed.
Having endured a stagnant economy for the past eight years, it refreshing to see some optimism. And here we have this headline: Fewest workers getting unemployment benefits in 28 years:
Just 1.9 million people received unemployment insurance benefits at the end of the month, the fewest since 1988. Benefits are available for up to 26 weeks in most states.
Even more engouraging [sic]: Averaging over the past four weeks, total unemployment benefit claims are running at the lowest rate since 1974, despite the workforce being 75 percent bigger.
Thursday's report also showed new jobless claims dropping to 236,000 in the first week of May, an extremely low level.
Donald Trump, making America great again!
