How can Mr Trump get credit for the economy when Obama went from 7% to 4.5 ?

☺ I have seen more help wanted now hiring signs that any other time since the year 2000.
I remember it like it was yesterday. So what gives. Trump hasn't done anything if you ask me. ☺

Are you blind? Economically Obama has been deemed a failure. Doubling our deficit. His recovery has been called anemic, he never achieved a GDP over 2.0%. Trump's America first agenda and his promises to businesses have grown the GDP to nearly 4%, as well as creating 1.5 million new jobs, he's also worked out deals with several major companies to bring dollars and jobs back to the US for even more growth.

Who do the Democrats have to run? Crazy Tim Kaine? Biden the pedophile? Who?

@biandlargeny Roy Moore.

during oblamo's reign of mediocrity the unemployment rate went down because people dropped out, stopped looking, and the labour participation rate went down. The labour participation rate is rising now because people are rejoining the work force and the unemployment rate is dropping. I know that must be difficult to swallow but thems the facts.

@katielass Maybe in Texas they decided to give up on life. I heard its utterly depressing there. But here we had openings on my job that could not be filled fast enough. There were more help wanted signs and now hiring postings everywhere this year just like last. Every government assistance department in my area had little to no people in the lines. Gas prices were way down and at one point was near the $1.50 range. Now its going back up again. Its only good for you when a whiny little chump in the White House takes credit for doing something that should have been done a long time ago. And that is create jobs and let the local governors take control, too. So pray that we dont end up in another stupid war. And pray that we dont have to deal with a different gas crisis like we had under Bush. Because once again the Dems will have to come back and clean up after the GOP once again like they always do. Clinton cleaned up Bush. Obama cleaned up Bush. And Haley will clean up after Trump. 😐

@Zonuss Wel you heard wrong dear. We didn't suffer oblamo's depression nearly as much as most places. And I wont address your other exaggerations/outright lies because most people know better and those who don't don't matter. You just keep on living in a fantasyland, makes no difference to me.

@katielass I know. That is because you don't like facts and truth.
Where I am from we have 3 of the fastest growing cities in the country.
You got a lot of plants and businesses being built in Georgia. Floridas economy is better and their tourists numbers are steady along with all those empty houses we had when Bush was in office, they are now filled.
Obama did a great job. See I don't want Trump to fail. I want to see him do well because the US looks good when the economy is strong.
And if he continues to keep the GDP at 3% or higher, then I will vote for him. The semantics, and the silliness I can live with as long as the money is coming in.

@Sniper Well that is subjective. I think lower gas prices is half the reason why people spend money. Right now the gas prices are going up. The question is how long will it stay over $2.00 this time around. ☺
According to some, that is entirely due to Trump...the sheer dumbness of some people huh?

@Mandalorian Uh, yes.

@Mandalorian It's not entirely due to Trump or his administration, but they have helped.

@nudistsueaz Ok so at what point do we call fake news fake news. Because for all we know it, these current numbers could be...fake. ☺
nudistsueaz · 61-69, F
I don't think they are but no one knows for sure. The unemployment numbers come from the people collecting unemployment benefits. Once they stop collecting benefits then they are no longer counted, even if they are still unemployed.

@nudistsueaz This economy is way better than it was in 2008 and 2009.
If you cannot see the difference between now and then, it means you must be dead.

@jackjjackson Come down South. I don't need links. I have real life here. And we see and hear about it on the ground. Sounds like you are stuck sir.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
As usual zonnnuuussss you wouldn’t want facts to get in the way f your “😉 @Zonuss
akindheart · 61-69, F
Where i live, we are having record breaking low unemployment.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@akindheart Thanks. The economy has definitely gotten better. You cannot build infrastructure or new manufacturing plants in your demographic if the taxes aren't low enough. And if the surrounding areas are not pumpin money into the system.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Zonuss are you in florida by any chance? you mention the south.
