Trump must of found that magic wand Obama was talking about. If Obama knew the economy was going to be awesome, he would have said the economy would be great because of him regardless who won. Instead we got the new normal / managed decline talk.
A similar time under Obama..... Keep up the good work. Maybe he can catch him. The whole right wing now thinks like Trump.
Trump gave Big Biz a big tax break. Nothing wrong with that... until he did that, we were tied with Japan for having the highest taxes on corporations in the world. But who should get the 'praise' (assuming that's still the word we want to use in the coming years)? The Federal Reserve System. Yes -- our all-powerful central bank picked 'winners-and-losers', rescued those it considered to be "too big to fail", and today's economy -- good and bad -- is the work of the "Fed"... and not much else. But, Trump can take credit for the tax cut. It didn't do ME or anyone I know any measurable good, but, what the hell.... It didn't hurt us, either.
LOL Nice try. How about a graph that identifies more specifically with the impact on Manufacturing Jobs attributed to the Trump Administration? Why, it's almost like the infamous "hockey stick" beginning in July-August, 2017....
Isn't ANYBODY going to give PRAISE where 'praise' is due? We may curse the Fed someday for manipulating and mutilating what was once a free-market economy roughly twelve years ago, but for the moment, shouldn't the FED get the 'credit' for the economy...? It wasn't Obama, and, in fairness, it isn't really Trump, either.... A tax break for big companies. Hooray. It was long overdue... but was THAT supposed to be some kind of national "salvation"...?!
It would be a lot more impressive if Trump didn't have to borrow $2 trillion dollars in "Fake" money to stimulate the economy. In that way, both Obama and Trump are EXACTLY the same. It's been the norm since Reagan increased the debt 170% to stimulate the economy.
This is great to see because Manufacturing is middle America. For far too long we have been drifting away from these type of jobs that establish a middle class.
For manufacturing jobs to come to America in an significant numbers we need to invent something that can't be built by machine or cheap labor.
REALLY??What exactly is being manufactured in this supposed huge surge in manufacturing??Not TV's,Computers,Cell Phones,Autos,Clothing,Furniture,please explain where we are seeing this resurgence of manufacturing??
Well, blowinng up the budget and exploding the deficit, assuring us trillion dollar plus borrowing for the forseeable future....... I guess now that a Republcian is in the White House, deficits don't matter again!
Not possible. Why would I want to see the lackluster results from the Obama Administration continued? I want people to get jobs, and having been a manufacturing business owner for almost 40 years, I want jobs in that category to improve, not dissolve, as Obama's policies pushed for.
Obama borrowed more than 2 trillion Sooner or later such wild deficit spending will catch up to whether repub or dems are in charge We need a balaced budget
