Obama vision was very limited in success. Obama was too worried about globalization and exporting jobs abroad to be a better world partner BS


Trump has already secured jobs and having a corp rate that is good for all. TPP is dead, thank God!


When you get your best job and actually working 40 hours with real growth al of Obams promises are a bad memory.

Trump will prove to be a miserable failure for the rent serfs of America, and will unite the left in opposition.
No one cares about your situation because you are a whiner and a person who refuses to do anything to improve yourself. Just stating a fact.

Really sick of your rants when it was the Dems that signed NAFTA and most other trade policies that have put so many out of work here in the US. Do something to change the situation instead of b***ching about it all the time - you're all mouth and no action. All you know how to do is complain and that's why I put you on ignore a long time ago.

The man isn't even in office and has done more than any other President elect before the inauguration.

What rants have I gone on tearing Donald down. None. If you put me on ignore a long time ago then why are you responding to me now LOL I don't put anyone on ignore because I value all opinions even of I don't agree with them

Are you talking about Carrier? Trump did nothing but took credit.

Among adults who would lose insurance, 80 percent don't have college degrees..."

"Many of the functions that would necessarily face the ax under Trump's promises — job training, education, child-care assistance and the like — benefit groups that were Trump's strongest supporters. The cuts would disproportionately hurt red states in the South, mountains and plains that receive far more in federal spending than they pay in taxes...

"Such actions, undertaken by Trump and his Cabinet of billionaires, bankers and business tycoons, could cause some of those working-class Trump supporters to regret that they didn't take Trump's campaign utterances literally."

—Dana Millbank column, Salt Lake Tribune

Policies like those promising to come out of Trump's Cabinet don't look too good for the working class.
All that poorer Trump voters could see was the wall (and promise of mfg jobs which will probably never return in real numbers). The wall will probably never get built but that will be overlooked by supporters.
This would be laughable of it weren't true. Liberals either don't get it, or refuse to get it. I'm hoping it's the latter, because I'd hate to be surrounded by people with the intelligence of a potato.

Trump, even though he is not in office yet, has accomplished more that Obama did in eight years: Nearly 95% of all new jobs during Obama era were part-time, or contract By Investing.com. Democratic policies are killing American jobs.

If Trump succeeds in 'creating' more jobs; it will encourage employers to again pay more, offer permanent positions, benefits and respect to their employees - that is what competition does when there are more jobs and fewer employees.

Hundreds of their jobs are staying now that were going before he got involved. The reason is UTC understood those billions in DOD contracts might be at risk if they moved the jobs.

You keep telling yourself that the economy is strong and overlooking the vast majority of Americans and you never will win another election win! Obama created somewhere around 10 million temporary jobs - not a great track record!

Titt for tatt? Nope. I go with the winners.

I don't quote the "far right" and your attempt at insult (anti-education) demonstrates that you lack argument based on fact or logic. I have a masters in electrical engineering. If you want to go "titt for tatt" level of education, I will be glad to.
