You don't listen, do you. The growth was painfully slow under Obama. The Fed tried hard to prop up the economy but could no longer wait. We would be in a horrible recession right now unless action was taken. Trump took action with the tax cuts and de-regulation. And voila, a bridge appeared over the canyon and we were saved.JohnStOnge wrote:In other words, just ignore the fact that the trend towards increasing wages started in 2014. And ignore the fact that the trend towards decreasing unemployment started in 2010. And just ignore the fact that the current growth cycle started in 2009. And just ignore the fact that after the stock market flattened out for a while it started rising in early 2016. So on and so forth.CAA Flagship wrote: No. You are wrong. Obama was an economic nightmare and you are in his camp. Don't tell me that you understand anything about the economy and it's affect on people. You are living in your isolated world and have no idea what's going on in America. Obama failed millions of Americans. And that is why Trump won. Period.
Investors are keenly in touch with every slight move that might affect the economy. Look at the volume of trading that started as soon as someone other than a Democrat won the election. How do you explain that? It was hope for the future. And the volume continued as more plans were revealed by the Admin. And then the de-regulation began. Then the tax cuts hit. And look at the market. Look at the earnings. Look at the unemployment rate. Look at the participation rate. Look at consumer confidence. Etc.
Hate Trump all you want, but he has boosted this economy. All that while doing the dirty work of fighting back against countries that were fleecing us for years.
