White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders touted the good economic news on Twitter Friday — putting Democrats on blast in the process.
The Associated Press tweeted:
BREAKING: US employers added 200,000 jobs in January, paychecks rose at fastest pace in 8 years.

Sarah Sanders wrote in response:
For years Democrats talked and talked about increasing wages. @realDonaldTrump & @GOP policies are actually doing it. https://t.co/1XdNRVw8p4

As Sanders notes, the economy has been soaring. Wages in January 2018 rose the fastest they have since 2009.
In December, President Trump passed a massive tax cut for individuals and corporations. (RELATED: Watch Trump Sign Massive Tax Relief Into Law)
Many Americans received bonuses, some as much as $3,000, as a result of the tax cuts. Democrat Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly referred to these tax-cut bonuses for American workers as “crumbs.” (RELATED: Pelosi Just Tweeted Her Most Offensive ‘Crumbs’ Comment Yet)
