Give me a fucking break! Are you completely ignorant of the fact that from the time that the ACA was passed Republicans did everything that they could to undermine it , which detracted from addiction services and much more?Obama tried to mitigate those problems, Everything that Trump has done exacerbates themI have been saying this for a long time. Many people know the truth. The 50% of American households who do not own stock are not benefiting from the soring stock market. While the unemployment rate is low, there are still a hell of a lot of people out of work. Many of those who are working have trouble making ends meet and must work several low wage jobs.
Yet, Trump is running on the economy and too many gullible fools, including some who have been left behind, still support him based on this-perhaps his biggest lie.
Nobel economist: Trump’s economy is an absolute disaster for people and the planet
It is becoming conventional wisdom that US President Donald Trump will be tough to beat in November, because, whatever reservations about him voters may have, he has been good for the American economy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Neither GDP nor the Dow is a good measure of economic performance. Neither tells us what’s happening to ordinary citizens’ living standards or anything about sustainability.
Many households are struggling, and then there is the issue of the environment and our health:
Two years ago, a few rare corporate leaders were concerned about climate change, or upset at Trump’s misogyny and bigotry. Most, however, were celebrating the president’s tax cuts for billionaires and corporations and looking forward to his efforts to deregulate the economy. That would allow businesses to pollute the air more, get more Americans hooked on opioids, entice more children to eat their diabetes-inducing foods, and engage in the sort of financial shenanigans that brought on the 2008 crisis.
Who is willing to say the air and water polution, opiods and diabetes are good things! Get real peopleQ!
Who is willing to say the air and water polution, opiods and diabetes are good things!
We didn't have those under Obama, eh?
Silly twat.
Obama tried to mitigate those problems,
He didn't fix them?
Is it because he was such a weak failure?
Do you have your head so far up your ass that you do not know that Obama strengthened regulations to protect air a water quality while Trump has bed rolling them back? You are either that stupid, or just lying. Which is it?

Because some whiny twat seemed to be blaming air and water pollution, opioids and diabetes on Trump.

Didn't the Obomanation win the Nobel Peace Prize for starting a war in Libya?....Why would anyone consider a Nobel award anything but an award by leftists to their own?
The Surrender Monkeys award CHEAPENED ALL other Nobels, IMHO of course!...The one rotten apple theory works well here!Didn't the Obomanation win the Nobel Peace Prize for starting a war in Libya?....Why would anyone consider a Nobel award anything but an award by leftists to their own?
The Peace Prize doesn't require any real accomplishment, unlike most of the other Nobel Prizes.

Wages are doing well. Especially lower end wages.
Workers at the lower end of the pay scale finally are getting the most benefit from rising wages
"The recent jump in paychecks has come with an unusual characteristic, as workers at the lower end of the pay scale are getting the greater benefit.
Average hourly earnings rose 3.4 percent in February from the same period a year ago, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report last week. That's the biggest gain since April 2009 and seventh month in a row that compensation has been 3 percent or better.
What has set this rise apart is that it's the first time during an economic recovery that began in mid-2009 that the bottom half of earners are benefiting more than the top half — in fact, about twice as much, according to calculations by Goldman Sachs. The trend began in 2018 and has continued into this year, and could be signaling a stronger economy than many experts think."

1.The article is a year old and we don't know if that trend has continued
2.While low wage earners may have made gains that outpaced the gains of higher wage earners , the gap is still enormous
3. Wages are only part of the story. Investment earnings- which only about 1/2 of American households have- for outpace wages.
4.Corporations are doing fantastically as evidenced by the stock market surge, and from your own post, the growth of income for high end earners is tied to the market
Bottom line is that not everyone is benefiting equally from the economy and nothing in your post refutes that.

"Disaster" is hyperbole. But his hyper-Keynesian approach is dangerous and irresponsible, to say the least.
The amazing thing his how the Trumpsters are just fine with it. A 180-degree spin from where they were just a few years ago.
I've never seen anything like this. These people are completely smitten.
.
Except when Obama was President and then the blamed the George W. disaster on him.Republicans have given up on being deficits hawks since before then. Voters don't want to hear about it.

Our forum gurus swear up and down that heavy taxation will pay for all their mega programs. They also say regulation is the key to prosperity. The above video shows the failure of both on an epic scale.
