    Headline from Drudge
    DOW 25,000!
    +250K JOBS
    LAYOFFS LOWEST SINCE '90

    Yep a great year economically and more good news everyday as companies announce expansions and bonuses. Now let the new tax rates take full effect with more money, EARNED money, in the pockets of consumers and businesses continuing to grow at a healthy pace and 2018 could be even better.

    Job-cut announcements in 2017 see lowest level since 1990, Challenger report says
    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/04/job...7-see-lowest-level-since-1990-challenger.html

    US private sector added 250,000 jobs in Dec, vs estimate of 190,000: ADP
    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/04/us-...00-jobs-in-dec-vs-estimate-of-190000-adp.html

    Dow Industrials Cross 25000 for First Time
    Should it close above that mark, milestone would represent the fastest 1,000-point gain in the blue-chip index’s history

    But Hillary would have been better.

    She would have let all the illegals in, let the non-white criminals out of jail, forced churches to host gay weddings... You know, the really important stuff. :blahblah:

    Interesting.

    Ok you have two options:

    1. Obama's actions and regulations were perfectly timed and just now kicked in. However, Trump has been busy shredding those regulations and actions of Obama, which means:
    2. The economy will tank very soon thanks to Trump shredding Obama's "legacy".


    Which one would you like?

    So then I take it with your simplistic view you credit Bush with saving us from a depression and turning around the economy in 2009 and not Obama?

    If there are any rules of consistency in play, that's the only thing he could be saying.

    And just think, there was NEVER any single quarter in eight years that economic growth reached 3% under Obama. First time since the Depression that happened. Shows what removing the heavy hand of government from the private sector and releasing Americans to be able to prosper rather than punishing them for doing so will do.

    Just in time for Americans to see these whopping ,,, huge gains in their paycheck ....

    Gas Prices are beginning to go up 10 cents throughout the midwest and east coast ...

    Make no mistake - corporate America knows you have little more money - and will take it!

    And just think, you are 100% wrong.

    Try checking your stats before you announce them next time:

    No, for leaving the next administration with a growing economy. The entire first year of any presidents first term, is a result of the previous president. Barring some natural disaster or act of war.

    Tellers at Regions Bank around here are rejoicing. Their lowest pay was $10.04 and hour and now the lowest pay in the institution is going to $15. That's a huge increase for the lowest rung. Super! Super! Super!

    I'll go with the actual reality. The economy steadily improved over obamas entire term. He took UE from over 10% down to under 5%. He had record high stock markets. in fact, he doubled the DOW. He had the most consecutive months of jobs growth than any other president in US history. All of this momentum continued into 2017.

    Exactly what policies did Obama put in place to improve the economy and why didn't he do that during his first year?

    I notice you didn't answer the question.

    You only have two options:

    a) This economy is due to Obama's actions and will tank now that Trump is shredding what Obama did
    b) This economy is due to Trump shredding what Obama did

    Choose wisely.
