Yet you totally ignore the prequel and fail to appreciate the vast improvement. That's disingenuous.A number of people here take a snapshot and think it tells a story, with no context and ignoring what preceded it, like it exists in a vacuum. The only explanation for that is because everything it can be compared to would embarrass them.you realize that's a poor metric, right?What did the trend line look like during the previous administration?
For the first seven years of the Bush Administration economic growth averaged 2.1 %. Barack Obama is the only President in history who will most likely go an entire eight years without going over 2% in economic growth in any quarter.
Eight years is a "snapshot"? You should be embarrassed to make that claim, Al! Seriously...I can't believe you posted that!
Two terms isn't a "snapshot"...it's a full length movie followed by a full length sequel!
What's "vast" about economic growth that averages 1.5% over an eight year stretch? That's awful. What puts it in an even worse context is that during that time period we were spending record amounts of money piling up mountains of debt and we STILL didn't grow the economy!
