Americans woke up Friday to more good economic news. The U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in May, pushing the unemployment rate to an 18-year low of just 3.8 percent. The number of businesses that reported gains surpassed initial estimates, and construction spending was up. Wages were up modestly (2.7 percent), and black employment was at its lowest level in history.

In other words, pretty good. So good, in fact, that CNBC published an article Friday titled, “The US economy suddenly looks like it's unstoppable.”

Enter House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who tried her best Friday to find the downside to the Labor Department's figures.

“May’s jobs report shows that strong employment numbers mean little to the families hit with soaring new costs under the Republicans’ watch,” the California congresswoman said in a statement. “Republicans’ cruel, cynical health care sabotage campaign is already spiking families’ premiums by double digits and pushing millions off their coverage ... Big Pharma continues to hoard the benefits of the GOP tax scam, using their handouts to further enrich executives and shareholders instead of lowering prescription drug costs for seniors and sick kids. At the same time, the President’s reckless policies are exploding gas prices, wiping out the few meager gains that some families should have received from the GOP tax scam, as wages remain stagnant.”

Look, I get that it’s her job to attack the things that reflect positively on the White House. But she must know how silly this looks. Her opening statement doesn’t even make much sense, and that's to say nothing of the comically bogus, worn-out attempt to blame presidents for gas prices, or to blame the tax cut (sorry – "TAX SCAM!") for whatever real or imaginary economic problems she's going to highlight.

“From day one, the White House and Republicans in Congress have sold out working and middle class families to further enrich the wealthy and big corporations shipping jobs overseas,” her statement continues, repeating itself. “Thanks to the massive windfall of the GOP tax scam, Wall Street and wealthy corporations are on track to spend $1 trillion on dividends and stock buybacks while simultaneously announcing tens of thousands of layoffs and shipping jobs overseas and refusing to raise workers’ wages.”

It added, “Democrats know that the American people deserve A Better Deal, with Better Jobs, Better Wages and a Better Future. We are committed to creating millions of new good-paying jobs and raising wages, lowering the soaring cost of living for families and giving every American the tools to succeed in the 21st Century economy. Democrats will never stop fighting for the hard-working middle class families who are the backbone of our nation.”

Does that sound in touch with reality?

God bless Nancy Pelosi and her team. What troopers.
