Free Market

Hillary Clinton

Unemployment Rate
Donald Trump
- "Don’t believe these phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment. The number’s probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent." DTS
John Kasich
- "The anemic growth we have today isn't because the federal government failed to do enough but because it succeeded in doing too much" TS
Small Businesses
- Ted Cruz: “Imagine instead of economic stagnation, booming economic growth. Instead of small businesses going out of business in record numbers, imagine small businesses growing and prospering.” (politifact)
- Ben Carson: “The current regulatory climate has harmed the ability of small businesses to grow and create jobs. For example, small businesses cannot expand beyond 50 employees without facing significant economic consequences from Obamacare. I believe removing such burdensome regulations would boost small businesses and help jumpstart the economy." (BCW-SB)
