Im so mad i clicked the OP link, gateway pundit is literal alternative facts trash
How do you feel about CBS? Is it "alternative" or just when you don't like an Improving Economy?
It takes a 'special kind of grinch' to complain about improving Economic Conditions and more money is the pockets of citizens. It takes a Bitter Leftist Grinch to make those complaints.
They had a lot of company across the country. Total retail sales this holiday season added up to a record $598 billion dollars — up $33 billion from last year.
"This is literally the best season since before the recession," business owner Craig Johnson said.
Johnson's company, Customer Growth Partners, analyzes all things retail. He credits low unemployment and a booming stock market for this humbug-free holiday season.
"The single biggest drive of retail sales is growth in real disposable income," he said. "And when real income goes up, people have money in their pocket and they're able to spend it."
Online sales are also way up, which explains why UPS had to call in support from their accountants and office staff to supplement drivers trying to deliver everything on time.
"FedEx, UPS and the Postal Service have all been record volumes," Johnson said.
What Johnson see that he likes most? All types of stores — discount, big box, full price, specialty — shared in the holiday bonanza.
It's usual that democrat POTUS does not give business and consumers confidence in the economy because businesses face uncertainty and hold back hiring.

The last 20-30 yrs, since when have we ever see the Democrats vote for tax cuts?
The ACA was by far the biggest tax hike in my lifetime.
(meanwhile, Democrat message -> Americans are worse off)
Funny thing is you admit that there was a Great Recession and yet want to compare that first year Christmas to one 9 years later? Me thinks you really do not think things out

Please check your numbers. Trump's tax bill is projected to give us in the private sector another $1.5T.
Best Christmas in America in a long time. Recoveries do take some time in most places, but this is real progress so far. And the bad news for Democrats is that Congress actually got something done. In the end, Americans have won.
