The U.S. economy is “faltering,” House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declared Friday in response to the U.S. Labor Department’s August report revealing that a record number of people were employed last month, while the unemployment rate held at 3.7% - and fell to record lows for blacks and Hispanics.

“The August jobs report offers little comfort in an economy faltering under the Trump Administration’s reckless agenda,” Speaker Pelosi says in a statement posted on her website:

“Uncertainty is surging,” Pelosi says, criticizing the Trump Administration’s health care policies:

“Uncertainty is surging, farmers are struggling and families across the nation are facing rising costs of living as the GOP’s special interest giveaways continue to hollow out the economy. Instead of working to lower health costs, the President and Republicans continue their cruel battle in the courts to strike down protections for people with pre-existing conditions and every other benefit and protection of the Affordable Care Act.”
