And exactly what has he done. The government has shutdown on Trump's one year anniversary because the great deal maker could not provide leadership needed to unite his own party even thou they controlled the government. His approval rating is now the worst in history. His border wall is further away now than it was when he took office. Sanctuary cities are stronger than ever. Arrests on the US border are down. He has signed less bills into law than his last 3 predecessors. His tax bill was a gift for the wealthy. He failed to repeal Obamacare, a promise he made in his campaign over 60 times. However, he has proven that anyone can become president, no matter how ignorant, vulgar, or hateful.
Our economy is booming right now partly because of his rescinding Obama job killing laws and removing the employer mandate for Commie Care. Consumer confidence at it's highest level, over a million and a half food stamp people off the program since he took office, the lowest unemployment rate in years, 90% of people who get a paycheck will see more take home pay. Thousands of employees getting bonuses, pay increases or both all citing the tax cut as the reason, illegal border crossings down 70%, he added many new deportation judges to process the illegals faster, he's pro police instead of anti-police along with being pro-business unlike our last anti-business President.
The Democrats got just about everything they wanted even though Republicans are in charge, and it's the Democrats that are shutting down the government for their precious aliens. Democrats want to give aliens the ability to come over any time they want which is why they are against the wall.
If you want people who represent non-Americans, vote Democrat. If you want people who represent Americans, vote Republican.
You think the economy is booming because Trump removed the mandate from Obamacare? FYI, that does not take effect until 2019. And the trend in falling food stamp participation began long before Trump took office. During Obama's last term it fell over 5 million. Employment peaked in 2010 at 10% and has been in a down trend for 8 years. It has been 4.1% for the last 3 months.
What is booming in the economy is the stock market, up 26% due the huge cut in taxes on corporation and the wealthy. Let me remind you the market increased 141% under Obama.
Yes, during eight years, and when you are at the bottom, the only place left to go is up. And if you do the math, with this continued growth, Trump will be at over 200% growth at the end of two terms.
DumBama's market was solely controlled by Quantitive Easing which didn't reflect the economy. With Trump, the market is reflecting the economy. Businesses are now able to make new investments or expand their operations. Business confidence is the highest in ten years. When you have a pro-business President, these kinds of things happen.
This old leftist urban legend that trickle down doesn't work has just been proven wrong. Even today it was announced that Disney is going to spread the wealth.
Food stamps did fall under DumBama primarily due to Republican Governors putting qualifications to receive food stamps. If you look at what happened in Maine (to name just one state) when they created requirements for those with no dependents, most of the people dropped out of the program. They must have not been that hungry in the first place.
No, the market does not reflect the economy. The stock market reflects the hopes for the future. It's a leading economic indicator.
Food Stamp usage peaked in mid 2013 and has been falling steadily. The ABAWD program that was implemented in Maine has been implemented nationwide. The ABAWDs can only get SNAP for 3 months in 3 years if they do not meet certain special work requirements. The major decrease in food stamp usage has been the fall in unemployment not changes to the requirements.
The US economic growth in 2017 reflects economic policies of the previous administration, low interest rates, low inflation, and much higher than anticipated global economic growth. Trump economic polices has had little effect on the 2017 economy. 2018 is projected to be the highest global economic expansion in 8 years and the US economic expansion is expected to continue. Effects of the tax cut on the economy will remain unknown for at least one to two years. However, it is is expected by economist to boost GDP by .7%.
No, the effects of the tax cuts are already showing results. You don't need actual cash in hand before you take actions on the cash guaranteed to come in.
All states were able to waive federal requirements of food stamps under DumBama. Most did and some didn't. But as time went on, Republican led states began to reinstitute those requirements and that's why usage went down.
Trump removed job damaging regulations by Obama. He eventually got rid of Commie Care requirements. He backed out of the Paris Accords which would have had very damaging affects on American companies. He promised a reduction of corporate taxes which he eventually produced. These are all inviting things for corporations whether they materialize immediately or down the road.
So unlike the stock market boosted by Quantitive Easing, this market is reflecting actual growth. Housing market up, Labor participation up, unemployment down, and not because of those who dropped out of the workforce, increasing interest rates. And I hate to say it, increasing fuel costs because fuel consumption is reflective of economic activity.
