I don’t think that is the case this time.

No it has been booming since after 2010.

Snow flakes credit everything to Obama. Even if someone gets killed due to Obama's policies the left will
Still as they have done so far, blame someone else.

I think the ridicule you are receiving in this thread is appropriate and justified. I bet this is one post you wish you could delete.


My only guess is that he had it hitting the default money market fund selection.

Because they know how bad looks for Obama to have doubled over 230 worth of debt in just 8 years without SOMETHING to show for it......

So they pretend Trump has nothing to do with it.

Despite blaming Bush for everything under the sun for Obama's entire presidency.

I was about to say the same thing. I more than recovered what I lost in 2008/2009.

Trump supporters say the economy increased just in 2017, they were MIA for 8 years. Which Trump policy kicked this off.

Simple, people convinced themselves that a crappy 2% GDP growth was the new norm, and gee golly wow, we had eight years of is, so.... we must have had our Nirvana, eh?

Besides cutting hundreds of harmful federal regulations, Trump was not able to pass any particular policies to much more than slightly improve the economy and lower the unemployment rate that 0bama left him with.

The economy was good, in fact it was very, very good for Trump's first year, if we measure it against the sad sack years under 0bama.

One thing Trump did was create a surge in optimism. You can see the chart, that as soon as Trump won the election, people's perceptions of a better economic future soared. Optimism goes a long way to improve an economy.
