In an interview on CNN’s news program on Thursday, Senator Tom Carper (D-DE) said there was “lots of good news” about the economy and between the continued implementation of the infrastructure bill and the Democratic reconciliation package, “that’s a lot of incentive to get an economy moving.” . ”
Host Jim Sciutto said, “I think you’ve seen the new economic statistics released this morning showing that the US economy actually shrunk by just under 1% in the second quarter. That’s in the traditional sense, which means a recession in some people’s minds, even though I know other economists will look at a set of indicators,” host Jim Sciutto said. “Two quarters in a row means negative growth. I was wondering, do you always talk to recession voters in your own state, in the US?”
Carper said, “I’m going to talk to a lot of them tonight. I’m going to the Delaware State Fair. And we have some very good news to share with them. If you look at the number of jobs that are created, we get them from the Department of Labor every month, for the last three, four, five months, 300,000 a month, 400,000 a month. , we’ve seen 500,000 jobs created. And I think we’re doing pretty well on that front. Both the infrastructure bill that’s still going on and the legislation we hope to pass here in the coming days provide ample incentives to get the economy moving. But the difference is that you get paid for it. We’re not just increasing the deficit. It totally captures him in ways that I think make a lot of sense.”
