    Optimism is rising, the economy is growing, & unemployment is low, in part, because of regulatory & #taxreform. A majority of Americans believe that now is a good time to find a quality job in the U.S., the highest percentage in 17yrs.http://thehill.com/policy/finance/economy/388576-optimism-in-job-market-highest-in-17-years-gallup …

        The @GOP #TaxScam is illegal according to the Federal Tax Act 1863, tax liability is to be calculated ONLY after state and local taxes are deducted. Corporations are NOT passing their windfall to employees. Trickle down economics has NEVER worked. #ProtectMueller

        You quote surveys. I see the reality of the poverty crushing our society daily in Oklahoma. You continue to hide in the shadow of Trump waiting to see how the court of public opinion judges him while knowing what he is doing damages the very fabric of our nation. #LankfordLies

        Did you read the survey? It doesn't really support your statement. It merely suggests that more adults feel like it "is a good time to get a job." The conclusion that the #TaxReform has anything to do with it is preposterous. Is this how you make decisions on policy?#LankfordLies

        @SenatorLankford , that’s a national article. It’s irrelevant to what is actually happening in Oklahoma. We are an outlier State with high poverty. Good jobs are few & far between here.

        Is that why I heard a report yesterday that recent college graduates can't find a decent job in their field of study? Is that why we had another school shooting last week and you and your @GOP cronies haven't done a damn thing about gun violence? #Basta

        Yes indeed....y’all are a great comfort to us working class Oklahomans. Why just yesterday SCOTUS ruled in favor of forced arbitration for workers with no avenue for class action lawsuits....surely a great ruling for your donors...not so much for your constituents.

        My optimism is not rising. I live in fear of madman in the White House, and representatives too steeped in their own dogma to extend themselves past their comfort zone in service to constituents.

        I have a daughter who just graduated from college with a tech degree. Contrary to your optimism, there’s not a lot of decent jobs out there.

        What about the victims of gun violence? They are not optimistic about our economy. The #TaxReform has not benefited them. They will never find a job. Your inability to acknowledge what is happening to the majority of Americans is sickening. #LankfordLieshttps://www.cnn.com/2018/03/02/us/school-shootings-2018-list-trnd/index.html …

        Your tax reform benefits were all about the wealthy, and you know that. Stop the lies now.
