Well, let's review: Unemployment is low, the Dow is high, Gas is down, the Dollar is Up, Foreclosures are down, housing prices Up, Auto sales have set new records, exports up 22%,
Median household income Up 15%, U6 down 20%, uninsured down 18M. GDP UP 12%. And most importantly, my net worth is up nearly 250%.

Yep, when you change the way the numbers are calculated and fix them to favor a positive result, that sure is "somethin'", but some of us would call that unethical. Then agian, progressives love lies to promote their ideal, so maybe it is really "somethin'"?

Bingo.

Make no doubt it about, however; if we start seeing anemic job growth in the next 24 months, Obama will still get the blame.

Good for you. My in pocket income went way down thanks to Obamacare and higher taxes. Someone had to pay for keeping people on unemployment for years.

In a progressive educational system, this would seem like a win/win, but well... those of us who know how to do math, understand what honest statistical evaluation is and don't buy into the progressive manipulation narrative, well... we know when people are blowing smoke up our arse.

It reminds me of Obama's WH claiming how there was a dramatic increase in tornado's, in the first part of his term. It was a sharp increase, I mean.. it was rather astounding!!!

What the lying idiots failed to inform the public about was that they had implemented technology that could now identify through models the likelihood of an F0 tornado occurrence when before, we only counted F3+ tornado's and only based on proper verification of the damage.

So yeah, you can take your "numbers" and go find some idiot who is willing to buy into such, because those of us who aren't drooling morons know better.

How are the numbers fixed? U-6 unemployment is now where it was in 2004-05.

Okay. So I guess we should gauge progress in the broader economy on your own personal economic situation?

I think maybe you and I agree on way more than we disagree. You point to Mr. Obama trying to keep it down but reject the idea that his actions to keep it down are related to his regulatory methodology?


could you point to what else he is doing...as you say, he trying to "keep it down".

Yup. It's likely a recession will occur soon after Trump gets into office, which will hurt his approval rating and his effectiveness at fulfilling his campaign promises. The media will spin it all as Trump's fault.

Barry is busy signing off on thousands of new regulations before he leaves office. Every regulation is a roadblock that must be overcome. That is a waste of time and money.
