Economist Steve Moore told listeners on The Will Cain Show that the American economy is finally turning a corner, and he’s not talking wishful thinking — he’s citing real numbers and real momentum that hardworking Americans can feel. Conservatives have been saying for months that growth would follow sensible policies; hearing that confidence is rising confirms what we already suspected.
The data back Moore up: the economy posted a surprisingly strong 4.3 percent annualized gain in the third quarter of 2025 and inflation readings have moved meaningfully lower, with headline CPI drifting toward more normal levels. The labor market, while normalizing, still shows resilience and the overall picture is one of an economy re-accelerating after the uncertain months earlier in the year.
This rebound didn’t come from partisan magic; it came from rolling back damaging policies, freeing up capital, and letting American producers compete again. When tariffs that choked supply chains and spooked investors were dialed back and regulation eased, Main Street responded — investment picked up and consumer spending followed.
Policymakers have taken note: the Federal Reserve’s moves to ease policy late in the year have helped calm markets and lower borrowing costs, a necessary boost as we head into 2026. Lower rates and falling inflation are the tonic markets wanted, and they’re starting to restore the confidence businesses need to hire and expand.
Make no mistake, conservatives should take credit for pushing the pro-growth agenda that made this recovery possible, but we also keep our eyes open — Steve Moore warned that tariffs and other protectionist impulses could undo gains if they return. The lesson for Republicans going into 2026 is simple: keep taxes low, remove regulatory deadweight, and foster an environment where private investment, not government interference, fuels the recovery.
Americans work for every paycheck and deserve an economy that rewards effort, not one rigged by bureaucracy. As we stand on the edge of 2026, the numbers and the commentary from respected voices on Fox show reason for guarded optimism — but translating that optimism into lasting prosperity will require steady conservative leadership and policies that keep the private sector free to grow.
