    This is why Trump will get re-elected. Trump turned around 8 years of Obama/Biden stagnant malaise and got the economy going again. Wage improvements, more jobs and lower taxes. Biden seems to stand the best chance of winning the Democrat primaries next year. But, there will be constant comparisons of the Obama/Biden economy and the Trump/Pence economy. As James Clapper allegedly said to George Bush Sr......"It's the economy stupid"!

    Everyone knows that data is fake. Trump told us so. Unemployment is more like 30%.

    This bullshit has been repeatedly refuted in a hundred different threads. The economy has been on the exact same upward trend since 2010. NOTHING trump has done has had any effect on the trend line. So please, stop pretending that the official and verified data we have going back 9 years doesn't exist, and that trump just magically poofed the economy into gear on January of 2017.

    Government cannot create growth; it can only hinder it. Trump is less of a hindrance than Obama.

    Yep, it took years to fix the Bush Republican holes in the bottom.

    Thanks for point that out. Thank Obama for not listening to the Pubs.

    demonstrably false. Government spending most certainly can and does create growth.

    False. Government orders in WWII fixed the economy and provided for the future. Study history, please.

    Republican incompetence has consequences. The worst recession in 80 years was what happened last time they were in power. Obama completely turned that around and handed off an economy with record high stock markets, and the most consecutive months of jobs growth of any US president in history.

    “Then you hear there's a 5.4 percent unemployment. It's really — if you add it up, it's probably 40 percent if you think about it.”

    Aug. 30, 2015
    “They show those phony statistics where we are 5.4 percent unemployment. The real number, I saw a number that could be 42 percent, believe it or not.”

    How can it go from 40% to below 3? Did I miss a quarter where we created 10 million jobs???

    Democrats caused that recession by failing to regulate the GSEs. And Obama didn't turn anything around. Average annual GDP growth of 1.4% is a dead economy.

    Repeatedly proven false. Republicans killed every single bill attempting to regulate fanny/freddy from 2001-2007. And of course he turned it around. We have actual data showing this.

    Republicans were the only ones who sponsored bills to put the brakes on the GSEs. It was Democrats who opposed them because they said it was racist. Which party would foolishly declare giving out loans to poor credit left wing minorities as necessary? Only one.

    1.46% annualized GDP growth says you're wrong.
