Now here is one on job creation:



Please make your argument for why the data represented in that graph suggest that something changed about the general variation in job creation when Trump took office.

Take a towel. Submerge it in water. Begin squeezing the towel and continue for 11 minutes. What happens to the rate of water that is produced over the course of 11 minutes? If the rate in the last 3 minutes is similar to the rate during the first 8 minutes, you weren't squeezing hard enough at the beginning.

That appears to be a variation of the argument that we have to assume that things would have gotten worse instead of staying about the same if something didn't happen (like Trump) to keep that from happening.

The amount of water in the towel squeeze is fixed at the start of the squeeze. The economy isn't like that.

Here is what I think is a fair treatment of the question:

BTW I was looking at stock market stuff this morning and noted that on Friday the Dow closed at a level 55% higher than it was on November 8, 2016. I also noted that it closed on November 8, 2016 at a level 131% higher than it closed on the day Obama was inaugurated in 2009.

So I'm wondering, were you Trump bots that are talking about how well your 401Ks are doing under Trump singing Obama's praises as the value of your investment more than doubled under Obama?

Oh...BTW...the stock market actually changed from being a Bear market to being a Bull market under Obama. That hasn't happened under Trump. He took office during a well established Bull Market. Were you guys singing Obama's praises because of that?
