Except that it is not true. The LFPR is unchanged for the last 4 years. Just another Trump alternative fact.

So, if everything is so great then we don't need tax cuts to "jump start the economy".

Is that why job growth has slowed down?

We probably need tax hikes to slow down the economy am I right?

The current economy in jobs demonstrates that Obama did good work that had the strength to withstand all the controversy Trump has generated in 7 months, sadly, Trump's presence is causing a slump to begin to show. Which means, Trump continues to damage the work that Obama did.
All I'm saying is that it doesn't matter what happens or doesn't happen or who you give credit or blame to. People that hate Trump will continue to do so no matter what and never have anything positive or even neutral to say about him. There's no point to threads like this. You all are beating a dead horse. I know you enjoy doing this, but what's the point. We all know what you're going to say before you say it.
If the economy takes a turn for the worst, you'd blame Trump and say Obama had nothing to do with it. So, again, what's the point?

Liberals ready to concede Trump is the greatest President in decades? Perhaps ever?


I see you remain confused as always. Trump hasn't done anything to help squat he hasn't been in long enough. He's got about two years before he can make any difference and anything shows up. Odds are he'll be behind bars but that's another topic.




Here are the REAL results for unemployment:




What is U6 unemployment rate ?

The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts "marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons." Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the "marginally attached workers" include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over.

So is Trump using the new employment numbers..... or was the job growth and stock performance under Obama significant after the worst financial crisis in modern history?
