And in 1970 we had a recession.

Overeducated and Underemployed: Thank You, Recession

This definition of underemployment includes everyone who makes less than $10.50 an hour.

also you can expect more and more people are not looking for work due to the Baby Boomers.

Continuing a trend. The unemployment rate dropped 6% under Obama. Trump is at like 0.5%.

Your love of the Obama recovery is noted.

Still, Trump has done well with North Korea and tariffs. Now we gotta go back and list everyone who said not to talk to the mad man dictator and that tariffs were bad for the free market.

Budget deficit swells under Trump to largest in 6 years

Treasury: Budget deficit swells under Trump to largest in 6 years

President Donald Trump’s first full fiscal year in office has produced the nation’s largest budget shortfall in six years

The U.S. deficit widened in fiscal 2018 to $779 billion, which is $113 billion more than the previous year

Mick Mulvaney, the White House’s best known deficit hawk, blamed the rising tide of red ink on Congress

The Office of Management and Budget director argued that the supercharged economy would eventually bring in enough government revenue to make up the difference, without providing specific details.

“The president is very much aware of the realities presented by our national debt,” Mulvaney said, pointing fingers at Congress’ “continual unwillingness to restrain spending,” including lawmakers’ rejection of the administration's first major attempt at spending cuts this summer.

Remember when Trump said in 2013:
