Consumer Confidence At 18 Year High … Hits 138.4 in September 2018 vs. 132 Estimate

AND THE TRUMP ECONOMY KEEPS ON GOING … MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

According to CNBC, the Consumer Board’s index rose to 138.4 this month from 134.7 in August. Consumer confidence is at an 18 hear high and near the all-time high of 144.7 set in 2000. The survey measures Americans’ sentiment on current economic conditions and prospects for the next six months, including business and labor market conditions. It is just another economic indicator of just how well the economy has been going during the Donald Trump presidency.

At some point America you have to realize that it is the Donald Trump and the Republicans in control in the House and Senate that are making this all happen.

Consumer conference at 138.4 in September, best read in 18 years from CNBC.

Consumer confidence rose in September, notching its highest level in about 18 years.

The Consumer Board’s index rose to 138.4 this month from 134.7 in August. Economists polled by Reuters expected consumer confidence to dip to 132.

“Consumers’ assessment of current conditions remains extremely favorable, bolstered by a strong economy and robust job growth,” said said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at the Conference Board. “These historically high confidence levels should continue to support healthy consumer spending, and should be welcome news for retailers as they begin gearing up for the holiday season.”

Franco added September’s index print is near the all-time high of 144.7 reached in 2000.

Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Kevin Hassett Educates the White House Press As To Who and What Is Responsible for Amazing Economy

 WANT TO LEARN WHO REALLY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT THRIVING ECONOMY

Watch the video below and you will see a masterful job by Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Kevin Hassett educate the liberal White House press as to when and where and who and why the economy is doing so well today. Unemployment is at 3.8%, we have had record low unemployment for Africa-Americans and Hispanics. Millions of jobs being created including manufacturing ones who Obama said would never return. Business and consumer confidence is up. Last quarters GDP was 4.2%. The DOW hit yet another record high today of 26,743.50, up 86.52.

Kevin Hassett goes through chart after chart showing the trend lines that distinctly indicate during who’s presidency the amazing gains have been made. Please watch. What is rather ironic is Obama is taking credit for things in the economy that he claimed would never happen again. President Trump has reversed many of the economy killing regulations.

Hey Barack Obama, you didn’t build it!

Remember when Obama mocked Donald Trump prior to the 2016 elections, stating the jobs were not coming back and how could he make such claims come true. Remember when Obama stated, what does he have a magic wand? It would appear he did Barack. It just goes to show just how clueless Obama was in the economy and job creation.

MAGA: 72% of Blue Collar Workers are OPTIMISTIC About Future and 67% of Blue Collar Workers are HAPPY!!!

THE FORGOTTEN MEN AND WOMEN ARE HAPPY AND OPTIMISTIC UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP …

A new survey of white and blue collar employees have provided some amazing results. 72% of blue collar workers and 76% of white collar workers are optimistic about their future. Also, 67% of blue collar workers state they are happy at their work. The 2016 presidential election victory by Donald Trump was a victory for the forgotten blue collar men and women of America. Blue collar workers are very optimistic about the future.

Blue Collar Optimistic

By many measures, America’s blue-collar workers are confronting a challenging present and uncertain future. The twin threats of outsourcing and automation show few signs of slowing, causing some pundits to question whether the American dream remains attainable for working-class families.

However, research suggests the outlook for white-collar professionals may also be less than rosy. Whereas blue-collar workers have actually enjoyed rising wages in recent months, white-collar professionals have seen their pay remain largely stagnant. Plus, large-scale surveys indicate office workers are feeling deeply disconnected from their work, leading to burnout and poor performance.

Blue Collar Happy

Keep this in mind for the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. It is not about what the MSM tells you or a skewed poll, it’s always about the economy.

As reported by the AP, United States consumer confidence rose to an 18 year high to 133.4 in August. The Donald Trump wins keep on coming America. But of course the LEFT, Democrats, Never-Trumpers and liberal media would credit Obama for this.

Donald Trump12

Americans’ consumer confidence rose in August to the highest level in nearly 18 years as their assessment of current conditions improved further and their expectations about the future rebounded.

The Conference Board reported Tuesday that its consumer confidence index rose to 133.4 in August, up from a reading 127.9 in July. It was the highest reading since confidence stood at 135.8 in October 2000.

Consumers’ confidence in their ability to get a job and the overall economy are seen as important indicators of how freely they will spend, especially on big-ticket items such as cars, in coming months. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.

AMERICA, YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN END ALL THIS WINNING, BY HANDING THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO THE DEMOCRATS. Think about that this coming midterm election before you vote. Do you want to continue the successes under Trump, or do you want it all wiped away and go back to the Obama economy and food stamps?

Voters Overwhelmingly Prefer Free Market to Socialism … 74% to 13%

SORRY BERNIE SANDERS, ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ AND THE LEFT, AMERICA IS A CAPITALIST NATION

According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 74% of Likely U.S. Voters prefer a free market economic system over a socialist system. Sorry Bernie Sanders and the new darling of the Democrat party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democrat party finds itself moving farther and farther to the left and socialism as an overwhelming majority of Americans prefer a free market economic system. Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez previously stated that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “represents the future of our party.” Really, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, Ocasio-Cortez, is the future of the Democrats in a country that prefers free markets? Democrats are about to drive off the political cliff. If any of you actually thought or think self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders has a chance of being elected, you are delusional. The idea that Democrats are purposely attaching themselves to socialism is amazing.

Free-Market

 In New York, a Democratic Socialist candidate just unseated a near-20-year veteran in one of the state’s Democratic congressional primaries, and she contends she represents the Democratic Party’s future. But voters reject socialism in no uncertain terms.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 74% of Likely U.S. Voters prefer a free market economic system over a socialist system. Only 13% think socialism is a better economic system, and just as many (13%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Blue wave, huh?
