How about those April jobs numbers?

[cawacko]

Remember how they used to scream about it?

It's still a big issue. It's retarding growth in this country. What else would you like to know about it?

That's like saying Truman won World War II

Sorry but HST did end the war. He was the one to bring Japan to it's knees so he gets the credit. Does Trump getting the credit stick in your craw?

I'm stoked about the current economy - but I was stoked for the last 8 years or so while we grew steadily after the Bush crash.

I do have concerns about what the rushed and lopsided tax plan will lead to over the years. I still think that was a bad, one-sided measure that was entirely about the short-term and to help politicians w/ the next election - instead of being a thoughtful long-term plan for growth.

But regardless, why weren't you starting threads about economic growth years ago, when Obama was President?

3.9% unemployment. Record employment for blacks and Hispanics.

But Stormy lol?

Grown ups can contemplate and discuss many different subjects at once, Cindy.

Don't worry, you'll get there one day.

Uh, no, when Obama took over the trend on almost everything was stright down!

Yes but Reagan inherited a worse economy so your argument is moot.

When Obama was growing the economy, instead of starting threads about that, Darth was putting "Hussein" in his JPP board name - joining the racially driven, 8-year long campaign to portray Obama as "not one of us."

It's actually quite bracing how many deeply racist right wing posters are here, screaming their impotent rage about minorities and how they get their fee-fees hurt.

 

[The Ugly Truth]

The simple fact is that Trump is President and the economy is booming. He gets the credit for it. If the economy was doing poorly, you guys would be BLAMING Trump. You can't have it both ways.

Did Obama cry about how he couldn’t run the country while Trump was leading the Witch hunt investigation into his Birth Certificate?

What economic growth? He was President for eight years and never had a GDP growth anywhere near 3 percent. Most people would call that a recession.

Record # of quarters with growth, and the stock market tripled. After the worst crash in decades.

"What growth." That's just sad partisan hackery.

And no - most people would call an actual recession a recession.

Do you know what a recession is?

I think he meant that most Trump voters would call actual growth a "recession." Not most people. Most people know what a recession is.

Ask any economist. Sub 3 percent GDP growth is pretty anemic. The Obama economy was a joke, and Trumps economy is doing way better. Trump makes Obama look like a piker.

Not one single economist would call the economy under Obama a recession.

Not one. Because it wasn't a recession.

We were basically back to full employment by the time Obama left office.

If Trump had brought the economy back to life like that after one of the worst crashes in history, he'd be tweeting about it for decades. It would be astonishingly excellent and then some.

If the Obama economy was so great, why did so many businesses pack up and leave the country? Why are many of them returning, and even giving their employees cash bonuses?
