But the government can set min wages, tax rates and environmental regulations that according to republicans effect jobs and business.
The government also controls consumers tax rates that control Americans income and consumer spending, and this increases/decreases business sales and job loss/creation. And the government can also pass trade laws that effect business, like the Clinton/republican congress free trade deal that sent all of our jobs to China. ex.ex.
correct, almost everything the government can do...hurts the economy....the government and/or potus cant do anything to improve the economy, other than get out of the way

Anything government does HINDERS the free market, it doesnt encourage it.
Obama had 72 months of consecutive growth upon leaving the White House so he deserves credit and Trump has continued his policies so far.
I just fear Trump is going to screw it up somehow.
Lowest level of economic growth following a recession since the Great Depression.
The unemployment rate has been steadily falling since 2009. One could argue that this 2009-2017 drop was caused by policies from GW Bush or Obama, or because of a democrat or republican congress, but not because of Donald Trump.
Trump inherited a falling unemployment rate and Trump simplify has not had the time (or passed major laws) to cause a measurable drop in unemployment.
And its the right that started this by giving Trump credit for our low unemployment rate.
The economy hasn't recovered. UE isn't a good indicator. It just tells us who is working, kind of, since it decides who is and isn't counted.
And its the left that started this by giving obama credit for our low unemployment rate.
There is little difference in the sheep of each flock.
I've repeated myself so many times.
Trump's been in office for 9 months. In those months there have been few if any significant legislative changes that would have an impact on the economy -- negative or positive.
Whether it was Obama policy or just American resolve.....the economy was chugging along since the big crash in 2007/2008/2009.
I know in my community huge corporations built and are still building new manufacturing plants responsible for the addition and for the future addition of thousands of jobs.
Those jobs -- that growth -- nothing to do with Trump or any changes in any policies.
It is way too early for Trump to take credit for the stock market, job market, etc. It is -- it just is way too early.
Job growth was at a record setting 75 months of growth as of last December. The fact it has continue for the next 10 months is just a continuation of the trend before. It shouldn't slow down at all. We should see continued job growth as all those manufacturing plants that are underconstruction or just about to open up will start to be adding jobs.
Matches with the election of a Republican Congress.

All true. But you know Trumpers, any port in a storm and all that.

That might b true if that Congress did anything during that time. Just winning the election is not enough to boost an economy -- in spite of what you and President Trump think.
