Mr. Timmons it sounds good. I am jay timmons, ceo of the National Association of manufacturers. We had a great meeting with the president and Vice President , and we were able to deliver news to the president. Every quarter, the National Association of manufacturers surveys our 14,000 members, and the survey is about their outlook on the economy and on the success of their business. For the first time in many, many years, we had an uptick in optimism among manufacturers, 93. 3 positive. To put that in perspective, one year ago the number was 56 positive. To also put it in perspective, it is the highest number for optimism we have seen in our survey in the entire 20 years we have been conducting the survey. Another data point that we found to be very interesting that we were able to share with the president is the righttrack, wrongtrack number, from the perspective of manufacturers. A month before he came to office, the righttrack number was a very low 26 . The last survey showed that t

We dont know what changed between last week and today for the fbi Deputy Director, to suddenly announce he is stepping down but we do know the fbi director Christopher Wray, who was appointed by the president not too long ago was up on capitol hill yesterday viewing the fourpage classi
