White House economics adviser Kevin Hassett (@WhiteHouseCEA) went on CNN tonight. @ErinBurnett led with this piece of information about wage growth being stagnant -- even after Trump's tax cuts. 
And here's former White House economics adviser Gary Cohn saying Trump's tariffs could wipe out whatever benefit resulted from the tax cuts
BURNETT: Only 4 percent of the workforce has gotten a raise since Trump's tax cuts. That doesn't seem great.
HASSETT: Yeah, but workers at Walmart have gotten a raise that amounts to $4,000 per year.

BURNETT: Do you believe tariffs hurt or help the economy?
HASSETT: Executive privilege protects the advice I give to POTUS
B: But do they hurt or help?
H: Look, if the world pursued Trump's vision, they would help
B: He's raising tariffs tho
H: But he said he wants them at 0

BURNETT: China approved new trademarks for Ivanka on same day Trump lifted sanctions on ZTE. That seems pretty corrupt, no?
HASSETT: I haven't been involved in ZTE discussions. But I have a hard time imagining the corruption you're discussing, knowing the people involved. (LOL!)

6 million people is about 4% of the workforce. Not great!
