Sure it was. What else was it?
Trump is a businessman and gave confidence to other businessmen. After 8 years of the most anti-business President in our lifetime, businesses finally have somebody big on their side. That confidence leads them to invest and take more risks.
After 8 years bringing this nation from the brink of disaster, with his economic hands tied behind his back, Obama brought us out of the abyss created by the previous GOP administration. Trump inherited a vibrant recovered economy. Like the cowards you and he are.. You want to take credit for the work Obama did.
This isn't two months into Trump's presidency, it's been almost a year. So how long do you wish to credit DumBama for Trump's work? Two years, three, five???? I hope not as long as you blamed Bush for his failed results. That would mean all 8 years.
What has Trump done to make you want to credit the economic uptick to him? The rich got richer under Obama and millions of people got healthcare that had no access to it before. Everyone gained something under Obama but Trump wants to retract gains made by the poor and middle class under Obama. Why? To give tax breaks to his rich friends and foreign investors some of whom aren't even American citizens.
Really? Because I didn't get anything from DumBama. In fact, I lost big time.
I've had health insurance my entire adult life until Commie Care became the law of the land. My employer seen a good opportunity to drop coverage like so many other employers. Not long afterwards, I began looking into other opportunities. Most of the places I contacted did the same thing.
Now it's like a cancer that can't be stopped. Lowlifes have healthcare and middle-class hard working people lost theirs. It was no accident. It was planned that way.
So the french fry maker has healthcare because it's affordable with the huge subsidy. Me and other middle-class people? They want over 25% of my net pay, and the plans suck with 7K out of pocket, 7K deductible, no dental, no prescription, and a $50.00 office copay. It's like not having any insurance at all unless you plan to walk in front of a moving bus.
Obama's economic policies had to have impacted you in some positive way. The business community made huge profits under his watch. That alone affected you positively.
Healthcare: I too have had healthcare all of my adult life. My employers never waivered
on my health care..even when the PPACA was enacted. I didn't need it.
But for those whose private sector employers dropped coverage the state exchanges represented a more affordable option with govt subsidies.But for those folks with high incomes who opt for private insurance...you do get pinged. But if so..why not take advantage of the cheaper PPACA rates:
"Those earning 100 percent of the poverty level would pay a maximum of 2 percent of their income for insurance, with subsidies making up the difference,
while those earning up to 400 percent of the poverty level pay a maximum of 9.5 percent of their income. The Kaiser Family Foundation further explains: “If the premium that a person or family faces for the benchmark plan in their area is higher than the maximum percent of income defined in the law for their income, they are eligible for a tax credit and the tax credit is equal to the difference between the premium for the benchmark plan and the defined percent of their income. The benchmark plan is the second-lowest-cost plan in the silver cost-sharing tier offered through the marketplace for the area where they live.”
