Interesting, I just remember Xerox stock dropping to $5/share in late 2000 and people wondering if they were going to fold, and Xerox was at the time a huge employer in the Rochester area (where I was still living at the time)

I was actually job hunting right around that time. I had stopped taking computer programming classes in the summer of 2000 and started sending out resumes one day. I actually got responses the very next day. From about August-September or October I got lots of interviews (though no job offers). I seem to recall it started slowing somewhere later in the fall of 2000, but not horribly at first. Then, by Feb or March 2001 it had just died and I wasn't getting any interest at all. So, in my book starting the recession somewhere early in 2001 would be about right.
This is not Trump's fault. It takes 3 years or so until the current legislation and policies has an impact on the economy. We have yet to see how well Trump has done.
So are you saying we are still feeling the Obama economy and this year will be the first year of Trump's policies?
The job numbers are great. But many of us are able to assess the situation with a little bit of finesse.
Trump’s First 3 Years Created 1.5 Million Fewer Jobs Than Obama’s Last 3
So you are saying it took Obama 6 years to do something but you only want to give Trump 3 years and make the comparison !!! Fortunately Trump will have an additional 3 plus years !!! Then we will see !!!
My retirement IRA is in great shape, I will say that. But that doesn't affect my attitude about Trump. He is a slimy con man, always has been and still is. No way in hell would I ever vote for that guy.
States are handing over drivers licenses to illegals for that purpose.. they don't want Americans votes to count.. they bring in aliens to vote and cancel Americans votes out. The democrats fight dirty and have no morals left. All to get socialist communism to take root here and the globalists welcome it.. Take a good look at China now.. not pretty. They have a totalitarian media and shut down anyone who tells the world what is going on in China.. they are afraid of their own country.
We have seen the republican plan, gerrymandering, voter ID laws and changing the laws when they lose an election as was the case in North Carolina and Wisconsin. They are losing in the house and losing governorships and legislatures across the country, they know Trump is their last gasp.

Then you better hope Sanders doesn't get in and grab your IRA to share "your" wealth with those who have none.
