The U.S. economy is booming. Jobs are coming back to America. And our countrymen and women are getting back to work.
The Labor Department announced Friday that June’s job report beat expectations. The U.S. economy added 231,000 new jobs, and over 600,000 new workers entered the workforce as optimism about our nation’s future grows.
That’s great news to everyone… except House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi blasted the good job report news as “reckless” and hurtful to America on Friday. She also called a growing economy a “brewing storm” that would ultimately hurt American workers and help big business.
Here’s her tweet —
The June #JobsReport shows what is at stake from the brewing storm of rising health costs, spiraling trade uncertainty & an economy being hollowed out to enrich big corporations & the wealthiest 1 percent. Americans deserve better than the GOP’s raw deal. https://t.co/WAVwdHh6BN

Folks, this is what we’re up against.
When the economy is booming, Democrat leaders are unhappy. Workers earning a solid living are bad for their support.
Democrats need the poor to remain on welfare and food stamps, after all.
If voters aren’t dependent on Democrat-backed entitlement programs, they won’t stand for empty promises.
In other words, when voters rely on themselves — not government handouts — it is bad news for Pelosi and her cronies.
No wonder she’s upset to hear about good job growth?
