    You can keep telling yourself, but the real UE is over 10%. And you keep ignoring the NLPR approaching 100 million under Trump's failing policies. Why?

    I'm not a trump supporter, or even a republican. UE is under 5%. This is demonstrable fact. I'm not ignoring the NLPR. It's just not relevant to unemployment. Trump hasn't enacted any policies, that have had ANY effect on the economy to date, positive or negative.

    Yes, the UE is much higher than you want to admit, and, yes, you are going to have show us that the NLPR is not relevant to unemployment. We are nearing 100 million out of the work force, rahl.

    No, it is demonstrably under 5%. YOU need to show why it IS relevant.

    why are they out of the workforce?

    Your admission of cherry picking irrelevant numbers in order to make a good economy look bad.

    When all is said and done Obama never had an annual GDP over 3% and is the first president in US history to "achieve" this. Trump is already on track to do what Obama couldn't.

    Trump did not inherit the great recession. You keep making false equivalencies, you will keep being exposed.

    Obama saved the economy.

    Trump will ruin it.

    Many presidents have inherited recession and even depressions and all but Obama achieved an annual GDP of over 3%. Trump inherited an economy in malaise and the day he was elected it got up and running. Stay tuned, more to come.

    FDR inherited a worse Depression and need WWII to recover economically.

    Your comparisons are lame, bitter efforts to demonize the Black president who did well.

    Trump will ruin the economy.

    And in final desperation as the debate is lost the race card is played.

    That is the only logical you would demonize a president who did well in a terrible situation.

    Trump, if it were January 2009 would have taken steps that would have destroyed the US economically.

    I demonized nobody, I merely stated fact. Obama is the first president in US history not to achieve an annual GDP of 3%. Only in your leftist mind is that a racist statement.

    "Obama is the first president in US history not to achieve an annual GDP of 3%" because of the God awful mess in which Bush and the GOP Congress left him.

    Your posts have no respect for the facts of the matter.

    You keep fumbling and bumbling, sawyer.

    Only FDR and Obama had inherited such messes in modern times.

    Trump inherited an economy that was beginning to mightily grow the last year, and now Trump is going to destroy it.

    Less than 2% mean growth over 8 years is doing well? Even Jimmy Carter did better.....

    Carter about 4%.

    Yep, Professor, with the mess that Bush and the GOP Congress made of the economy, it is.

    Trump, if his plans are put into action, will wreck the economy as badly or worse than Bush.

    And it was FDR policies of interfering in the economy that prolonged the Great Depression.

    It would be Hitler's and Imperial Japan's policies that would allow America to recover from the depression.

    As for Obama...it's kinda too early for cultural-marxism revisionist history wouldn't you say ?

    Barack Obama as a community organizer in Chicago and as a U.S. Senator had way more to do with "tanking the economy" than G.W. Bush or Republicans.

    The Great Recession that Barack Obama helped create:



    FYI:
    TARP was signed into law by President G.W. Bush in Oct of 2008 not Obama. It was TARP that prevented a full collapse of the financial institutions.

    The figures prove Apacherat wrong, and there it is.

    Obama was not in the Senate or was in the minority when the GOP from 1994 to 2006 with Clinton and Bush created the problem.

    'whataboutism' here is not gotcha just wrong.
