The measurement is "jobs created", not "people replaced". So if one worker leaves and another is hired to take his place, that is a zero.
lol.

To put this into context, that tagline from Obama was in reference to public infrastructure that benefits private business (at about 0:50 in the video).:

"Somebody invested in roads and bridges, if you've got a business, you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen."

Well I can only speak for myself.

My 401K is doing great. I don't know how much of that is due to Trump, but my picks are rocking.

I pay less in Federal taxes than before.

I live abroad and have a good amount of investment outside of the USA. They are solid as well.

Obama didn't hurt my future and he didn't help it either.

If people aren't gaining in this economy they are doing something seriously wrong.

And all of us, not just Trump's supporters, have to pay the price that is extracted, as the financial parasites of the corporations and stock markets, bleed our society dry.

What a nice first sentence!

I think it's been shown that the Republican idea of trickle-down is just a fantasy. Probably concocted to justifying funneling ever-more money to the wealthy.

If you're not successful that's your own fault.
