He also had the WORST financial crisis since then as well. The worst since the Great Depression, so what are you comparing it to? The Great Depression? Or other more minor economic crisis?
The thing is, Trump didn't have a magic wand. He just stepped in at the right time. The growth rate did not increase under Trump in fact it
actually decreased, but the economy had reached a healthy status so that didn't matter. So what magic wand? The magic wand of being there at a time when the economy reached a good point and as that happened, people were feeling the benefits.
I think the worst recession is way overplayed. I believe the Reagan recession was much worse. Back then, you couldn't even get a McDonald's job. In the last recession, there was work, but it just didn't pay real great. At the time, I was out of work and nobody was hiring, so I worked at a temp agency. The jobs they sent me to, people asked me to come back after the recession was over and they would hire me on the spot.
Saying the growth rate didn't increase under Trump is like saying the person that came to the Easter egg hunt towards the end of the game got less Easter eggs. Job creation is much easier to do when an economy is doing poorly; much more difficult to do when the unemployment rate was near normal. The problem here is Obama didn't create any policy favorable to job creators. If anybody was there at the right time, it was him. When Trump took over, he got rid of the Commie Care mandates. He got rid of a lot of job killing government regulations, and created a new policy that for every business regulation created, two would be removed in it's place. He greatly lowered business taxes putting us on more level ground with our competing countries. He restored business confidence.
I can understand because you were directly affected in a negative way, I just wish you wouldn't resort to name calling but c'este la vie. In my state, the opposite occurred. Many people who did not have access to health care, especially preventive health care now did and the difference was huge. For me personally nothing really changed. I have employer sponsored healthcare, the increased costs still increased last the same rate as pre-ACA. However, my husband got expanded medicaid, which covered most of his hospitalization and treatment bills this summer that my insurance wouldn't have covered. So I can't complain in how it effected us.
I certainly can. Commie Care was designed to cater to Democrat voters: floor sweepers, french fry makers, shelf stockers. The people that got screwed were us middle-class people because unlike the heavily subsidized low income plans, we got shit. They passed the cost onto us and therefore insurance was not affordable to most middle-class.
I think that was what they were already going to purchase pre tariff.
I don't know if that's the case, but even if it was, we have a better trade deal where we are less taken advantage of, and that will produce a much better economy down the road. Trump knew that China's economy solely depended on ours, so we had the aces in our hand.
