All of which affect you and the country how? we have record employment, pre recession level u-6, historical low African American employment, more spendable income, a booming economy but what the hell according to you he colluded with Russia. Should we then be thanking Russia for giving us Trump? If so, thank you Russia. All this time I thought it was Obama's results
Disarray to you is different than disarray to the electorate who are benefiting from the Trump economy and the fact that you have provided no economic results speaks volumes
You want someone better to do exactly what, grow jobs, grow the economy, allow people to keep more of what they earn? thank you Trump, you got him
Ah yes, the booming economy and keeping more of what you earn.
Have you ever heard of the adage of "a Wolf in Sheep's clothing"
I believe you have to weigh the good with the bad and see which way the scale tips.
Let me begin by saying that much of what economic benefits have occurred were because the Republicans won and not so much because of Trump. The Tax reform was mostly Congress and the House and they wanted to do that way before Trump came aboard. Yes, the Republicans have to thank Trump that he won the election but other than that, there is little to thank Trump for. Unemployment was already heading lower before Trump came aboard. Trump cannot get the credit for that (see chart below). On the other side of the coin, the negative side of the balance has tipped strongly against Trump, given the amount of hate, discordance, alienation of allies, leaning toward autocracy and etc..........the scales tip in favor of Trump in only 1 respect and that is economic. In the other factors that are important to a nation (morals, respect, ethics, humanity, and good will), Trump has failed horribly, meaning that the scales do not favor Trump as money (especially the SMALL amount that the populace is getting extra) does not compare with damage he is doing.
Sorry, but that is the reality. Like I said often before, if money is your God then Trump is a positive but if happiness, health, moral values, respect and those are important for you, then Trump is a zero.
The numbers are nearly all in now. What they show about what really happened during the eight years that Barack Obama was president is sometimes different from what politicians claimed.
The economy gained a net 11.6 million jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to below the historical norm.
Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 4.0 percent after inflation. The gain was 3.7 percent for just production and nonsupervisory employees.
After-tax corporate profits also set records, as did stock prices. The S&P 500 index rose 166 percent.
The number of people lacking health insurance dropped by 15 million. Premiums rose, but more slowly than before.
The federal debt owed to the public rose 128 percent. Deficits were rising as Obama departed.
Home prices rose 20 percent. But the home ownership rate hit the lowest point in half a century.
Illegal immigration declined: The Border Patrol caught 35 percent fewer people trying to get into the U.S. from Mexico.
Wind and solar power increased 369 percent. Coal production declined 38 percent. Carbon emissions from burning fossil fuel dropped 11 percent.
Production of handguns rose 192 percent, to a record level.
The murder rate dropped to the lowest on record in 2014, then rose and finished at about the same rate as when Obama took office.
