What hogwash. You said that about the last Clinton but remember he gave us a surplus and a great economy. And Clinton's economy wasn't just good for the rich and corporations oh no Bill's economy the middle class actually felt the positives. The 90's were the last time America was even close to great. And Bill had to fix Bush's mess. Trump walked into Obama's 80 straight months of jobs growth and a shrinking unemployment rate. A rate that Trump said wasn't real until the day he stepped into office.
Look at how labor was doing in the 90's.
Ford profit share a record - Jan. 21, 1999
Some 160,000 of Ford Motor Co.'s U.S. employees have cause for celebration Thursday after the company's president said they'll receive record profit-sharing checks for 1998.
Ford president Jacques Nasser says eligible U.S. employees will get an average $6,100 when the checks are distributed March 3. That's 39 percent more than the previous record $4,400 passed out to employees for 1997.
So fuck you if you want to brag about Trump's economy. Yes, it is GREAT for the corporations and the rich. It's ok for us middle class people too but what's the trade off? What cuts are going to come to us because of Trump's policies?
Actually, I just proved myself wrong by finding this:
Ford reported 2018 earnings before interest or taxes — EBIT — of $7 billion, down from $9.6 billion in 2017. The company said it made $7.6 billion pretax in North America, which will result in the $7,600 profit-sharingchecks on average for a majority of the company's 56,000 hourly UAW workers.
The only thing I can say is that when Clinton was in office it was 160,000 good paying workers. That's over 100,000 more good paying workers that worked for Ford back in the 90's.
But I can't pretend the economy isn't good right now. Then I would be no better than Republicans in 2015. They were so full of shit.
