Yet we came out of Obama’s 8 years and handed trump a good economy. Clinton handed bush a good economy tooI hear ya Foxfyre. In the end,absolute power really does corrupt absolutely. There are no Checks & Balances on this Socialist Nightmare at this point. We will only drift closer & closer to becoming a Third World Banana Republic until this changes. Hang in there.
Oh yeah the economy was just great. Slowest growth coming out of a recession EVER. More people of work force age out of the work force since the worst of the Carter economy creating a false unemployment figure. More people on food stamps than ever. Loss of family wealth. More people without basic benefits due to part times hours triggered mostly by Obamacare than we have probably ever seen. More college graduates living in their parent's basement and government extension of benefits to 'children' in their mid 20s that any other generation would have expected to be out on their own and earning their own way.
So we now have a President who actually heard the people's anguish, let them know that he did, and stated an agenda that they had been hungry to hear for decades. And he was elected against all odds and predictions, and he was elected with enough margin that there were no challenges to his victory. And he has not disappointed as he has been keeping campaign promises like no president in my quite long memory has done.
And the results have been pretty remarkable so far. MSN Money just announced that the stock market had its best opening week since 2006. Business confidence is way up. Consumer confidence is way up. People are going back to work and millions will be able to work full time with full benefits with a single job again.
I just hope and pray that those who are focused on President Trump's agenda, and who are mostly ignoring all the efforts of the left to destroy him, will not become weary. We need to keep reporting the good news because a dishonest MSM will not. And we need to keep the pressure on a feckless, self-serving permanent political class in Congress to get on board and stop dragging their feet as they all hope to preserve the status quo that most honorable people hate and reject as what America is supposed to be.

Stop with that right wing bullshit montra. You forget it was the greatest recession since the great Depression fool.
You guys put us in a ditch and complain how long it took for us to get you out of the fucking ditch?
Your opinion is noted. It's wrong. But it's noted.
No matter how well Obama did you were going to say it wasn't good enough. But keep in mind you said Bush did a good job and we should continue on that road by electing McCain. Right?
Obama’s Final Jobs Report Marks 75 Consecutive Months of Growth
the December jobs report concludes a year of steady economic growth: For most of the year, the unemployment rate has been hovering just under 5 percent, the lowest levels since 2007. Although the pace of employment growth in 2016 slowed compared to 2014 and 2015—the height of the economic recovery—last year’s numbers put outgoing President Barack Obama ahead of George W. Bush (but behind Bill Clinton) when it comes to job creation.
Analysis | 19 times Trump called jobs numbers ‘fake’ before they made him look good
Try again. A part time job with McDonalds counts as a job. But now we are talking real, permanent, jobs. Three of my neighbors who had been working multiple jobs without benefits are now back full time with full benefits with their primary employers. Those employers had to reduce hours and benefits to escape the horrendous regulations and mandates of the Obama administration. Those mandates and regulations have now been lifted.
